A sympathiser of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Theophilus Thompson, pleaded not guilty in court on Monday, 9 June 2025, following his arrest for allegedly assaulting JoyNews journalist, Latif Iddrisu.

55-year-old Theophilus Thompson was captured on video, along with other suspects who are currently on the run, assaulting Latif Iddrisu during his live coverage of the detention of the NPP Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, widely known as Chairman Wontumi, in EOCO custody.

On Monday, June 9, the courtroom was filled with observers, including senior NPP executives. Among them were the party’s National Organiser, Henry Nana Boakye (Nana B), and National Youth Organiser, Salam Mustapha, who were present to show support for Thompson.

During proceedings, Thompson pleaded not guilty to the charge of assault. His counsel argued that he is innocent and should be granted bail.

The lawyer further stated that Thompson is not a flight risk and has a permanent place of residence.

Quoting directly from the law, the defence cited section 97(4) of Act 30, stating that, “the court shall not refuse or withdraw bail merely as a form of punishment.”

The State Attorney, however, objected to the bail application. She informed the court that the case is still under active investigation and that other suspects remain at large. She added that granting bail at this stage could allow the accused to interfere with evidence.

Responding to the State Attorney’s objections, counsel for the accused insisted that the prosecution had provided no evidence to suggest that his client would interfere with the ongoing investigation.

Despite the defence’s arguments, the court denied bail to Theophilus Thompson. He was remanded into custody, and the case was adjourned to 18 June 2025.
