Re: Case Against 17 UB Students Adjourned / Addec’s Envoy Remanded in Prison

Martin,

I strongly disagree with you. See with Solomon who must have smelt
bigger things in the offing and would not want to destroy that outcome
by rushing to provide information that could silence sources. He is
applying what we call in our jargon "the knock-out approach"
The saga is unfolding and Solomon is really deep in the bit. He cannot
run his mouth just like that because UB is his alma mater for that
matter. Mark you.
