Daniel Koranteng denies selling Ahmed Suale’s photos to Kennedy Agyapong

Daniel Koranteng, also known as Nana Amakye, has denied allegations that he sold photographs of investigative journalist Ahmed Hussein-Suale to Member of Parliament Kennedy Agyapong before Suale’s 2019 murder.

Koranteng, a 35-year-old businessman, has been remanded in custody by the Madina District Court after being provisionally charged with murder.

Prosecutors argue that call records place Koranteng near Suale’s residence in Madina at the time of the murder. They also claim that Suale himself had previously identified Koranteng as the person responsible for supplying the images that were later aired on Net2 TV, where Kennedy Agyapong called for retribution against the journalist.

According to the prosecution, while Koranteng admitted knowing Suale, visiting Kennedy Agyapong, and taking photos with Suale, he denied selling any photographs to anyone.

“He admitted knowing the deceased, visiting Hon. Kennedy Agyapong, and taking photographs with the deceased but denied selling the photographs to anyone,” the prosecution told the court.

The prosecution further alleges that Koranteng fled to the United Kingdom in 2019 after declining multiple police invitations. He later returned to Ghana and was arrested in Amasaman on March 15, 2025, following intelligence reports.

The court has remanded him into custody pending further investigations, with committal proceedings set for April 1, 2025.

“During the investigation, the accused declined multiple police invitations and later fled to the United Kingdom in August 2019. He subsequently returned to Ghana, and intelligence led to his arrest in Amasaman on March 15, 2025,” prosecutors stated.

Meanwhile, Koranteng’s lawyer, Kofi Essel Hackman, has also strongly criticized the Madina District Court’s decision to charge his client with murder, calling it a “shambolic” charge driven by hearsay and ulterior motives.

“The police hurriedly put a charge together on the offense of murder. First, they were talking about abetment; now, we are talking about a surprise charge sheet of one count of murder. They prayed to the court to remand our client with no basis. I describe this as a shambolic charge sheet,” Essel stated.

He further alleged that the prosecution’s case lacks concrete evidence, arguing that the allegations were politically motivated.

“Because they have nothing on our client. It is just a multitude of allegations on hearsay that have been put together. It is just for someone’s career to shoot up, and someone has to go down; that is a witch-hunt, and we are going to deal with that,” Essel added.

The case remains under investigation, with authorities expected to present further evidence during upcoming court proceedings.
