As a journalist working for the anti-corruption website Tiger Eye Private Investigations, Ahmed Divela helped expose a multi-million dollar corruption scandal in the national soccer association of Ghana. The exposé led to resignations and criminal proceedings, and it implicated a powerful Ghanaian politician named Kennedy Agyapong. Agyapong denounced the team at Tiger Eye as "troublemakers" and indicated that he wished his supporters to attack or kill Divela. A few months later, the journalist lay dead, gunned down on a street in Accra.
