Trial of the case involving Multimedia journalist Latif Iddrisu and the Inspector General of Police will resume today at a family court in Accra, eight years after the life-threatening assault on the journalist by some officers of the Ghana Police Service.

Resumption of the trial follows a successful adoption of the case by His Lordship Abass Abubakari Adams, the 3rd judge to preside over the protracted case.

Latif Iddrisu was brutally assaulted in the line of duty by police officers at the headquarters of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Ghana Police Service in March 2017.

The police administration has publicly stated that the CCTV cameras at the headquarters of the CID did not capture the assault of the journalist on the night he suffered a featured skull when he was hit in the head with a butt of a gun.

The Police administration initially committed to compensate the journalist but reneged on that promise, forcing the journalist and his employer, the Multimedia Group limited to seek for justice at the court.

Eight years after sustaining the life threatening injury as a result of the assault, the journalist who has been undergoing medical treatment in the US state of California, is also fighting for justice at the court.

The Ghana Journalist Association has threatened to go to the ECOWAS court if no significant progress is made on Latif's case and the assassination of undercover journalist Ahmed Suale.

The cascading effects of the injury suffered by the journalist has adversely affected his career and private life as has been reported by his colleagues and close Associates.

Senior state Attorney Nancynetta Twumasi Asiamah is expected to cross examine the journalist when the case is called today.
