<p class="mol-para-with-font">The reporter was part of a team led by award-winning journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas.<br />
The probe last year led to the resignation of the head of the Ghana Football Association and the banning of dozens of football referees and officials.<br />
Last year Husein filed a complaint with police after a prominent lawmaker from President Nana Akufo-Addo&#8217;s ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) threatened him.<br />
The lawmaker made a call on television for supporters to beat Hussein while showing the reporter&#8217;s photograph.</p>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">Police said Husein was shot in the chest and neck. Anas and his Tiger Eye production company said the gunmen fired at close range from a motorbike and he died instantly.<br />
Husein-Suale has been walking around with the target painted on his back after BBC Africa Eye made a documentary about the scandal last year after gaining access to the investigation led by Ghanian journalist Anas Aremayaw Anas, who runs Tiger Eye.<br />
Tiger Eye ran a sting operation on soccer powerhouse Ex-Ghana Football Association (GFA) president Kwesi Nyantakyi.<iframe style="border: none;" src="//rcm-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/cm?o=1&;p=48&;l=ur1&;category=musicandentertainmentrot&;f=ifr&;linkID=1acfa59eda7772fee98513328d756e41&;t=konniemomen0a-20&;tracking_id=konniemomen0a-20" width="728" height="90" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no"></iframe><br />
Nyantakyi was filmed taking piles of money and putting it into a bag. He was forced to step down as GFA president in June, 2018 after film of him allegedly accepting a &#8220;cash gift&#8221; was made public.<br />
Football&#8217;s world governing, FIFA, body launched an investigation after Nyantakyi was pictured taking $65,000 from an undercover reporter.<br />
FIFA who was also Nyantakyi was also vice-president of the Confederation of African Football and a member of the Fifa Council resigned all his posts and was banned from the sport for life for breaking bribery and corruption rules.<br />
The world body said he also broke rules conflict of interest rules, and fined Nyantakyi 500,000 Swiss francs.<br />
After the BBC documentary aired, Ghanaian MP Kennedy Agyapong circulated photos of Mr Hussein-Suale and called for retribution against him.<br />
Nyantakyi has claimed the footage was doctored to falsely incriminate him.</p>

In 2018 BBC Africa Eye made a documentary about the scandal after gaining access to the investigation led by Ghana journalist Anas Aremayaw Anas, who runs Tiger Eye</strong></h6>
<p class="mol-para-with-font">A day after the assassination of Husein-Suale on Wednesday, media organisations and journalists in Ghana Thursday called for more protection and demanded the government fully investigate.<br />
&#8216;We&#8230; are terribly devastated by the dastardly act but remain unshaken in our resolve to pursue nation-wreckers and make corruption a high-risk activity,&#8217; said Anas.<br />
President Nana Akufo-Addo sent his condolences to Husein&#8217;s family and condemned the killing.<br />
&#8216;I expect the police to bring to book, as soon as possible, the perpetrators of this heinous crime,&#8217; he said in a statement.<br />
Information minister Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah told reporters violence against journalists would not be tolerated but the government is likely to come under pressure over the killing.</p>

One of his ruling party members reportedly, had placed a bounty on the slain journalist in the past</strong></h6>

<p class="mol-para-with-font">The murder of a journalist is unusual in Ghana, which ranked 23rd out of 180 countries in the Reporters Without Borders (RSF) 2018 World Press Freedom Index &#8212; up three places on the previous year.<br />
But the revelations about corruption in football rocked Ghana, a country where football is the national sport and which prides itself on being a stable democracy in an often turbulent region.<br />
The president of the Ghana Journalists Association, Affail Monney, said Husein&#8217;s killers &#8216;must be made to face the full rigours of law&#8217;.<br />
He also called on Akufo-Addo to get to the bottom of the killing, and urged parliament to &#8216;take necessary actions&#8217; to improve media and public safety.<br />
&#8216;This killing, in addition to rampant assault against journalists in recent times, sends a worrying signal that the media are under serious attack,&#8217; he told a news conference<br />
.<iframe style="border: none;" src="//rcm-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/cm?o=1&;p=26&;l=ur1&;category=mac&;banner=0B8GZEK7X9JN15T1BPR2&;f=ifr&;linkID=45959116a9033f86cc6e50c96ca7a649&;t=konniemomen0a-20&;tracking_id=konniemomen0a-20" width="468" height="60" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no"></iframe><br />
International media watchdog the Committee for the Protection of Journalists called for an immediate investigation and for the authorities &#8216;to ensure that threats against the press are taken seriously&#8217;.<br />
Husein had made the complaint to police after NPP party member Kennedy Agyapong showed his photograph on a private television channel and promised payment for supporters who took attacked him.<br />
<a href="http://ronmat96.gaming777.hop.clickbank.net"><img src="http://www.gamingjobsonline.com/affiliates/images/banners/2018/feb/banner728x90.jpg" rel="prettyPhoto"></a><br />
&#8216;That boy that&#8217;s very dangerous, he lives here in Madina. If he comes here, beat him,&#8217; Agyapong said, pointing to a picture of Husein&#8217;s face.<br />
In the undercover investigation into football corruption, Agyapong&#8217;s name was also mentioned by implicated sporting officials.<br />
Husein&#8217;s lawyer, Kissi Agyabeng, said the member of parliament had questions to answer.<br />
Agyapong himself rejected claims that he &#8216;engineered the killing&#8217; of Husein, telling local radio station Neat FM: &#8220;He has never offended me.<br />
&#8216;So, they should go and investigate those he has offended not me. He and his boss ([Anas] have offended so many people in this country.<br />
&#8216;The evil they have been doing will follow them.&#8221;<br />
RSF has previously condemned threats against Anas after he revealed &#8216;threatening calls, intimidatory messages and suspicious vehicles near his home&#8217;.<br />
<iframe style="border: none;" src="//rcm-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/cm?o=1&;p=48&;l=ur1&;category=homeaudiohometheater&;banner=1VPMRG9JVY8X1M8V2E82&;f=ifr&;linkID=a5c31a9b2f7acd88fe50c996940847c7&;t=konniemomen0a-20&;tracking_id=konniemomen0a-20" width="728" height="90" frameborder="0" marginwidth="0" scrolling="no"></iframe><br />
The reporter, whose other exposes have lifted the lid on graft in the judicial system, is distinctive for wearing hats and face-coverings to conceal his identity.<br />
The soccer expose was a game changer. In the aftermath, world governing body FIFA last October banned GFA boss Kwesi Nyantakyi for life and fined him nearly $500,000 after his on camera bribe incident. Nyantakyi was accused of requesting $11 million to secure government contracts.<br />
Eight referees and assistant referees were banned for life while 53 officials were subject to 10-year bans. Fourteen officials were exonerated.</p>
