JoyNews‘ multiple award-winning journalist, Latif Iddrisu, has travelled to the USA for urgent medical attention to the head injury he suffered in 2018.
He was brutally assaulted by some officers of the Ghana Police Service at the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) Headquarters.
The decision to seek medical attention in the USA has become necessary, because the journalist has, over the last few weeks, experienced persistent relapses in his condition.
The injury has also frustrated the career of the journalist, who, until March 27, 2018, had a promising and fast-growing influence in the Ghanaian media space.
Latif Iddrisu was, left with a fractured skull after police officers attacked him in front of the CID Headquarters when Deputy National Democratic Congress (NDC) General Secretary, Koku Anyidoho, was arrested.
Riot police were stationed at the CID headquarters to control a small crowd of NDC supporters, who had been at the Police Headquarters, to show solidarity with their General Secretary.
Latif explained that the Police attacked him because he had asked one of them a question to facilitate his report.
