Joy News’ Latif Iddrisu according to the Multimedia Group, has been diagnosed with a fractured skull after he was reportedly assaulted by police officers when he was covering the protest by NDC supporters following the detention of the party’s Deputy General Secretary, Koku Anyidoho, on March 27, 2018.
Speaking on the Citi Breakfast Show on Tuesday, Nana Elegba, Chief Human Resource Officer of the Multimedia Group, said although the Police have assured them that they will deal with the perpetrators, “we don’t want to assume that the outcome will be fully to our satisfaction so we are thinking of launching a civil suit as well.”
He said “we’ve started engaging our legal team; they’ve met with Latif and are reviewing the case.”
Koku Anyidoho was picked up by officials from the Criminal Investigations Department for making some comments deemed treasonable on public radio.
