6 Arrests in Killing of Journalist Who Exposed FIFA Official

ACCRA, GHANA —

Six people have been arrested and released on bail in connection with last month’s killing in Ghana of an undercover journalist who exposed a high-ranking official at FIFA as corrupt, police said on Friday.

David Eklu, director general of police public affairs, said the arrests on Thursday were “preliminary arrests based on reasonable suspicion.”

Police did not identify any of the suspects. Eklu said there was “no strong evidence for now.”
