Multiple award-winning Multimedia journalist, Latif Iddrisu, has gone into hiding even as investigators at the Greater Accra regional police command make efforts to unmask faces behind a threatening text message sent to the journalist.
A reliable source close to the journalist has told GhanaWeb that an unknown person believed to be among the wanted supporters of the opposition NPP who assaulted Latif at the headquarters of EOCO in May this year, has doubled down by sending him a threatening message ordering him to discontinue his corporation with the police regarding the physical assault and threats at him, and the subsequent police complaint he filed.
A screenshot of the text message which has been cited by GhanaWeb reads, "Hey Latif, withdraw the matter from the police or we will cut you and your kids".
The anonymous person ends the message with caution, urging the journalist not to disobey his orders by doing anything contrary. "Don't act tough man" it ends.
