The Inspector General of Police, (IGP), David Asante Apeatu, on Friday disclosed that the Ministry of Interior has placed a GHC15, 000.00 bounty for volunteers on information leading to the arrest of the killers of the late Ahmed Hussein-Suale.

He said the Police Administration was not going to jump into conclusion of who killed Mr. Hussein-Suale, but will work as the law required them to do to get the perpetrators and bring them to book.

Mr. Apeatu disclosed this when he visited the family of the late Hussein-Suale at Madina in Accra.

The visit was to sympathise with the late family, particularly the wives and the children.

The IGP’s team included; the Director-General of Operations, the Director-General of the Public Affairs, the La-Nkwantanan Madina Divisional and District Commanders and some other junior police officers.

The Police administration also donated an undisclosed amount of money to the widows of the late Mr. Hussein-Suale and thanked the family for their words of wisdom and encouragement.

He said there was the need for peace to prevail in order for Police to conduct their investigation and come to the bottom of the case.

The IGP said in hard times, the family would need support from the extended family, community members and the police as investigations were being carried out and that the police would work hard to unravel the truth.

“When somebody dies, it puts a lot of pressure on the police to do investigations and do it quickly,” he said.

He thanked them for their cooperation and support for keeping the peace in this country.

Naa Abdul Kadir Yakubu, the Dagomba Chief of Ashaley Botwe speaking on behalf of the family said there was a similar incident that happened in 2008 and that although the case was reported to the Police, no serious attention was paid to it.

He said the visit of the IGP and his entourage was a sign of respect, seriousness attached to the matter, and that it had given the family a lot of hope that the matter would be followed through to a logical conclusion.

Naa Kadir Yakubu said the family, friends and neighbours would give their maximum support and cooperation to ensure that investigations ended.

He said, “We called our children and talked to them to remain calm because we want peace in Ghana,” adding that, “If Ghana would be peaceful or chaotic, it would depend on all of us.”

Meanwhile, three-day prayers (Adua) will be performed at his Madina family house and funeral will then be moved to his hometown.
