“In response to ongoing investigations, a second investigation docket was received by my office in 2023,” stated Mr. Godfred Yeboah Dame.
“The investigations are ongoing, with the identities of the perpetrators still outstanding, and no identifiable suspects have been found yet.”

He elaborated on the extensive investigations into the Ahmed Suale case, including collaboration with the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) beyond Ghana’s borders.

Engineering at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi.

The Attorney General also provided updates on other high-profile murder cases, stressing on commitment to resolve them. He made reference to the case of

Tupac Shakur’s murder, where justice was served many years later.
