Ahmed Hussein-Suale; Anas Aremeyaw Anas’ murdered partner has been buried in accordance with Islamic customs.
His boss at Tiger Eye PI; Anas Aremeyaw Anas and Managing Editor of the New Crusading Guide Newspaper; Abdul Malik Kweku Baako Jr. joined several other muslims at the graveyard where the funeral rites were performed.
Widows of Ahmed however were not present for the final funeral rites as women from the Muslim faith commonly do not attend the funeral of their spouse.
Per Islamic customs also; the Shariah law, a Muslim fellow is buried within 24 hours after their death. Ahmed’s case however was slightly different as explained by the Family spokesperson.
According to Alhassan Unus who represents the family, the police requested that his body be kept in the morgue till due procedure is followed before burial.
31 year-old Ahmed Hussein-Suale, a key member of Anas Aremeyaw Anas’ Tiger Eye Private Investigations (PI) Team was murdered in cold blood by unidentified assailants late Wednesday at Madina; a suburb of Accra.
The Police say he received three gunshots; two in the chest and another in the neck.
Tiger Eye PI says though they are devastated, they are not shaken in their resolve to pursue nation-wreckers and make corruption a high-risk activity in the country.
