An eyewitness who was at the scene of the murder of Ahmed Hussein-Suale, the partner of ace investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas, has said the unknown assailants pointed the gun used in assassinating Ahmed at them.

According him, a man who was standing by and saw what was happening decided to raise alarm, but one of the gunmen pointed his gun at him threatening to shoot if he made any noise.

“After shooting Ahmed 3 times, a man who was standing by started screaming Hey! Hey!! And I asked what is going on quickly one of the killers pointed a gun at the man then we became quiet” he narrated to citinewsroom.

“They came for the motorbike and went away,” he added. The eyewitness stated it was after the gunmen had sped off that they gathered the courage to call the police.

He said the police arrived late to the crime scene because they complained of not having any vehicle at the time they called. Recounting the incident, the eyewitness said the assailants rode on a motorbike to where Ahmed usually hanged out with his friends on Wednesday afternoon.

Ahmed was earlier in the company of some friends including the eyewitness when he had an emergency call and he had to quickly move his car.
