Whoever killed journalist Ahmed Suale, does not deserve to live, the Chairman of the National Media Commission, Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh has said.
Addressing the 26th GJA Awards ceremony in Accra on Saturday night on the theme, “Walking the path towards Ghana’s economic recovery; the role of the media,” Mr Boadu-Ayeboafoh said it was worrying that the case of Suale has not been solved as of now.
He also recalled the murder of Samuel Ennin in 2007, who was the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the GJA, which has also not been resolved as of now.
