Ghanaian MP Kennedy Agyapong had circulated photos of Hussein-Suale and called for retribution against him because of his reporting.

The journalist was a member of Tiger Eye Private Investigations and had investigated corruption in Ghana's football leagues.

The undercover report on cash gifts led to a lifetime ban for the former head of Ghana's Football Association.

BBC Africa Eye made a documentary about the scandal last year after gaining access to the investigation led by journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas, who runs Tiger Eye.

The BBC's Joel Gunter has taken look at the life and death of Hussein-Suale, reporting that as well as his own three children, the journalist had taken in a nephew - the son of a brother who died in the line of duty as a policeman - and he supported numerous extended family members.

He covered university fees, contributed to wedding funds and paid for the upkeep on houses.His brother Kamil said he was naturally generous: "That is how we were raised. If you have something small, you share."
