Tsav apologizes to Ortom over defilement assertion

Ten months after he composed a letter blaming Benue representative Samuel Ortom for huge defilement, previous Police Commissioner in Lagos, Mr Abubakar Tsav, on Tuesday apologized to the senator.

Tsav had, in a 10-page letter dated May 16, 2017, which was duplicated to hostile to unite offices, blamed Ortom for "official heedlessness", saying that he had transformed Benue into a private home.

The previous cop, who is right now a Public Complaints Commissioner, blamed Ortom for nepotism, saying that he had put his privately-owned company – Oracle Business Ltd – over the state.

NAN reviews that a miffed Ortom quickly dragged Tsav to court, compelling the administration of the Public Complaints Commission and the Tiv Traditional Council to swim into the issue in the push to accommodate the couple.

The Tor Tiv, Prof. James Ayatse, exhorted Tsav to freely apologize to the representative and recover the petitions against him inside two weeks. Tsav disregarded the exhortation.

On Aug. 3, 2017, Tsav told newsmen that he would not apologize, pronouncing that he was remaining by his petitions.

Be that as it may, in an emotional bend on Tuesday, Tsav issued two letters of expression of remorse – one routed to the Tor Tiv and the other to Ortom – in which he apologized for the "false shriek blowing letters".

He asserted that the deferral in issuing the statement of regret was to empower him "think about the circumstance".

NAN reports that the expression of remorse to the representative was replicated to the Presidency, EFCC, ICPC, DSS and the Chief Commissioner, Public Complaints Commission.

The letters, which had comparable substance, expressed that Tsav's sudden choice to apologize depended on "late data accessible to me which demonstrated that my activity was predicated on dubious sources".

"The data accessible to me demonstrate that the substance of the letter exuded from a dubious source.

"In the situation, I pull back my prior letter and apologize to you for any burden this may have caused you and your administration," he said.

NAN reports that Tsav was dragged under the watchful eye of a Magistrate's Court on June 19, 2017 for professedly composing a prompting letter against Gov. Samuel Ortom, regardless of his invulnerability as a serving chief of the Public Complaints Commission.

Mr Michael Gusa, Benue Commissioner for Justice, in an application for criminal arraignment, had charged that Tsav stated "a harmful and false letter against the representative and administration of Benue".

Gusa affirmed that the letter repudiated area 143 (d), (c) and (e) of the Penal Code Laws of Benue state, Cap. 124, Laws of Benue State, 2004. (NAN)
