However, in Malami‘s words: “I think the NBA is perhaps having an agenda. I am talking of the national president of the NBA. Perhaps maybe he may have his own agenda that he is pursuing, either arising from certain conspiracies or not”.
“But then, if he feels strongly about the report which has been formally released by the office of the Inspector-General of Police, he knows how best it can be set aside both in terms of authenticity, in terms of cogency, and in terms of veracity.”
Akpata had said the NBA would build a strong committee to investigate the matter surrounding the attack on Justice Odili and report to the NBA on a weekly basis.
