Family responds to Bright Aweh
Reacting to Bright Aweh’s comments, family representatives of the slain immigration officer, speaking on the sidelines of the court hearing, shared contrary views.
A family member in an interview said that the incident had been investigated by security agencies and that the family was confident in the evidence at their disposal.
“He has shared his opinion, and that is why in every case we have prosecutors, investigators, and security services who will thoroughly examine the matter. The evidence we have gathered against Bright and his accomplice is sufficient. If he were shown this evidence, I do not think he would repeat the statement he made. He has not seen our evidence, so he is at liberty to say whatever he wants.”
