Dominic Nitiwul behind my arrest, I’ve him on tape -ACP Agordzo
ACP Dr. Benjamin Agordzo, who was acquitted in the coup plot case, has accused Minister of Defence Dominic Nitiwul of orchestrating his arrest.
In an interview, Agordzo claimed that Nitiwul initiated the investigations and arrest process. Agordzo alleges that he has evidence of Nitiwul’s involvement on his phone and suggests consulting a security expert for verification.
In the court case, six out of nine alleged coup plotters were convicted and sentenced to death, while Agordzo and two others were acquitted. The charges against the accused include high treason and conspiracy to commit treason. Following the death of one of the accused, his testimony was removed from the records.
