The announcement of the arrest of a suspect in the murder of Ahmed Hussein-Suale by the Greater Accra Regional Police Command has suffered a setback, as the law enforcement agents picked up a wrong person.
According to Seidu Nasigri, counsel for the suspect, who was still being held by the police at the time of filing this report, the law enforcement agents admitted they apprehended the wrong person and were working to release Abdul Rashid Meizango from custody when the Director-General, Criminal Investigations Department (CID) returned to her office.
Yesterday, the major newspapers in the country splashed on their front pages picture of a 29-year-old Abdul Rashid Meizango, who had been arrested by the Greater Accra Regional Command for allegedly murdering undercover investigator and a key member of Anas Aremeyaw Anas’ Tiger Eye Private Investigation team.
The newspapers sourced their story from the police who had invited the media to break the story.
The suspect was moved from the Greater Accra Regional Police Command to the Police Headquarters from where he was transferred to the cells of the Nima Police Station.
As at the time of filing this report yesterday, members of the family of the ‘mistaken suspect’ were seen at the Nima Police Station.
Abdul Rashid Meizango’s family house is in Accra Newtown but he lives at Bortianor.
DAILY GUIDE learnt about disparities in the amount of money the police reportedly seized from him.
His elder brother Abdul Nasir Meizango, a graduate of the Islamic University College, Ghana, who works with one of the state institutions, told DAILY GUIDE that “the amount of money in his car was GH¢25,000 and not GH¢20,000 which the police claimed he was going to use to bribe them.”
