Ada East: Senior District officer attacks journalist again

The Ada East District senior staff member who attacked a journalist for filming a confrontation during the election  of a Presiding Member was just an inch away from assaulting the reporter again. Assembly Members were this time round too quick to prevent the close fight by intervening.
Abdul Latif, an internal auditor of the assembly on January 23, 2020 physically assaulted an Obonu fm reporter, Daniel Akpaloo Nyongmor for taking video of a scuffle which ensued at the high table during the election a PM for the Assembly.
The staff dashed on the reporter and held his hands with the cell phone in an aggressive manner, questioning his presence at such a public event until the reporter was rescued by some assembly members.
Even though the reporter has been issued with medical forms to seek treatment for his twisted arm after formally reporting the case to the police, he also petitioned the DCE, Sarah Dugbakie Pobee who has since the first incident a fortnight earlier, not done anything about the issue.
Ten days after  the assembly again met to elect its PM after members first disapproved of the contestants, Abdul Latif again accosted the reporter, questioning why he reported that he had assaulted him, asking the victim to show him the bruises he sustained as reported by an online portal.
Exchange of words erupted resulting in a near fight between the two, after which another staff only by name Evans also came in to confront the reporter, demanding to fight him.
