Mr Nkuh

Mr Nkuh in his statement was prepared to involve a high-ranking official to run the operation, but in conversation warned against involving high-ranking officials, presenting a contradiction.

“Mr Nkuh himself, in his statement, was prepared to deal with a high-ranking official. He was prepared to share this information with a high-ranking official... yet you tell us that he warned you not to involve high-ranking officials.”

Chief Mashaba heard that Mr Nkuh warned not to involve high-ranking officials and decided to deal with the matter on his own, not informing his superiors.

“...he warns you not to involve a high-ranking official... you are going to deal with it on your own...”

Chief Mashaba was not told the identity of the high-ranking official Mr Nkuh initially wanted to involve.

“No, he did not.”

Chief Mashaba took seriously the caution from Mr Nkuh about being careful who to share information with.

“I did not take it light, yes.”
