The man accused of being involved in the murder of investigative journalist Ahmed Hussein Suale has responded to the accusations.

Speaking in a Facebook Live video, Mr Harris Ansu Gyeabour said he is an Oil and Gas trader who cannot "even kill a fowl".

In an at-times foul-mouthed rant, Mr Gyeabour said the persons who linked him to the murder after the MP for Assin Central, Mr Kennedy Agyapong mentioned the name Ansu Gyeabour in an interview are very lazy.

He said the connection was made by a news portal because in January 2020 the Police published a notice which had his image as a person wanted for "defrauding by false pretences".

He added that the news portal that first run the story has apologised to him and published a retraction.

“All those who know me know that I can’t even kill a fowl. Ahmed Suale? I don’t know him. I trade oil and gas. I am an oil and gas trader. I have nothing like no relationship with any media because oil and gas is not tomato that we advertise. We don’t even advertise. I don’t know who Ahmed is.” he said in the Livestream (below).

“My picture is all over the place that I killed [Ahmed Hussein-Suale]. What if the family of Ahmed [Hussein-Suale] meet me somewhere and they stab me. What will happen? What have you achieved? I have three children. Is it not stupid?” he stated in a video.

Mr Gyeabour said he found it curious that although he is not the only person named 'Ansu Gyeabour' in Ghana, persons chose to link him to the murder, indicating that he had made a complaint to the Cybercrime Unit of the Ghana Police Service.
