Ahmed played a role in undercover investigations that collapsed the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and caused the world football governing body (FIFA) to dismiss the GFA President, Mr Kwesi Nyantakyi.
The lawyer of Tiger Eye PI, Mr Kissi Agyebeng, also appealed to the police to investigate Kennedy Agyapong, Assin Central Member of Parliament (MP), who took Tiger Eye PI to task and proceeded to unmask the deceased.
