“I am pleading with you Mr. President. You should please release Chairman for us,” he said.
Mr. Yandoh acknowledged that there may have been shortcomings in the circumstances surrounding the case but maintained that the situation warranted the President’s intervention.
“We are aware that in some of the situations, there were excesses that occurred. We plead with him to intervene,” he stated.
