“But anytime there’s a problem the soldier is given a bad name. The soldiers will stop at nothing until we get the perpetrators of this crime,” he stressed.
The minister apologized for the abuse and heavy handedness that characterised the operation and gave the public assurances that an investigation will be conducted. The minister also confirmed that the operation was sanctioned by the Military High Command.
“Obviously, we will look at whatever went on and look at all those who got carried away by the incident. We will look at that,” he added.
