JUST IN: Ordinary President, Ahmed Isah apologises for slapping woman

Our Reporter

Ahmed Isah, the host of a magazine radio programme, Brekete Family, has apologised for slapping a lady accused of setting a minor’s head on fire.

A viral BBC investigative video had captured the moment Isah slapped the woman, and the report resulted in heated arguments online.

Lawyers told THE WHISTLER on Tuesday that slapping an accused person was constitutionally wrong.
During his radio program on Wednesday, Isah said he was overtaken by his emotions.

He said the incident happened three months ago.

“I call as somebody that is ashamed of himself…

“After three months…when they saw that police did not arrest the aunty…they came to me..

“They brought her in the evening after I have treated 200 cases.

“When they brought her, she was not remorseful. That was why I slapped her and I am very sorry for what I did.
