understands that multiple award-winning journalist, Latif Iddrisu, has been forced into hiding even as investigators at the Greater Accra Regional Police Command make efforts to unmask faces behind a threatening text message sent to him.
A reliable source close to the journalist has told that an unknown person allegedly believed to be among the wanted supporters of the opposition (NPP) who assaulted Latif at the headquarters of the EOCO in May 2025, have supposedly 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 reads, "Hey Latif, withdraw the matter from the police or we will cut you and your kids." The anonymous person ended the message with caution, urging the journalist not to disobey his orders by doing anything contrary. "Don't act tough man," the message sent to the journalist on June 7 at 1:58 PM, ended.
The source also tells that a request for security protection for the journalist following the physical assaults and threats by the supporters of the opposition New Patriotic party has not received any tangible response from the police administration yet.
