Accra, February 23, 2024
The Ghana Journalists Association (GJA) has expressed much worry about attacks on journalists and urged the Attorney General to expedite action on Ahmed Suale’s case.
Mr Albert Dwumfour, the President of GJA worried “it has been five years since the investigative journalist was murdered and nothing seems to be happening.”
Mr Dwumfour therefore called on the government to intensify its collaboration with the GJA in ensuring the security and safety of journalists in Ghana.
Journalists are playing crucial roles toward the development of this country and called for the protection of journalists, he said.
