A member of private investigation firm Tiger Eye PI, Latif Abubakar, has revealed that his slain colleague Ahmed Hussein’s life was under constant threat after his image was exposed by Member of Parliament for Assin Central Kennedy Agyapong.
According to Latif, Ahmed had to improve his personal security and had to be extra vigilante after the MP publicly called for his lynching.
Ahmed, who worked closely with ace investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas and key member of his investigative team was shot by gunmen on a motorbike Wednesday night while in his car driving home.
He was reportedly shot three times, twice in the chest and another in the neck.
The picture of the Tiger Eye journalist was brandished on TV by Mr. Agyapong in September last year during the airing of his anti-Anas documentary ‘who watches the watchman’ and called on the public to attack him as he was ready to face the consequences.
Speaking on Morning Starr Thursday, Latif told host Francis Abban that it was obvious that Ahmed was not safe after his face was exposed.
“You know when you are doing undercover investigation and you are exposing the bad guys, definitely the bad would want to get back at you, it is obvious. So if you picture is exposed to those bad guys anything can happen.”
He, however, added a report has been lodged with the Police and they are expecting the Police to commence investigations into this incident.
