George Abanga, also known as King George (August 4, 1976 – September 10, 2015), was a Ghanaian reporter for the radio station Success FM, in Accra, Brong-Ahafo Region, and for Peace FM, in Goaso, Greater Accra Region.

[3] On September 10, 2015, George Abanga was murdered on his drive home after reporting a theft of fertilizer in Sankore in the Brong-Ahafo Region.

[5] None of his belongings were taken, which led the investigators to believe that the murder was related to his journalist work and was not a robbery.

The police believed that the murder was connected to Abanga's stories about stolen fertilizers from cocoa farmers in the area.

[5] It could also have been connected to his reporting on the political problems with the President John Dramani Mahama's National Democratic Congress.

Editor at Success FM Atiewin Mohammed suspected a different story to be the reasoning behind Abanga's murder.

In 2015, South Sudan, Poland, and Ghana made it onto the Committee to Protect Journalists' (CPJ) killed database for the first time.

The most common reporting topics that led to journalists being attacked or killed dealt with politics, then war and human rights.
