Witness tells cops he was offered money to corroborate alleged assassination plot

An alleged witness yesterday told investigators that the man who has claimed he was approached to participate in an assassination plot against the president offered him money to corroborate the story.

Police yesterday held a confrontation between the complainant and a man whom he said could verify his story. The complainant turned up at the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) Headquarters yesterday after unsuccessful attempts were made by police to contact him since Friday last.

Crime Chief Wendell Blanhum confirmed that a confrontation, as was advised by the police force’s legal adviser, was held between the complainant and an individual whose identity was not revealed.
