A Commander of a SWAT unit, DSP Samuel Azugu who called for a private hearing explained, the words used are too unpalatable for public hearing. Despite the push by the three-member Commission to spill the beans at the televised hearing, DSP Azugu had his way. He said although the NDC MP’s words do not border on national security, “with all due respect”, the words can affect national cohesion. Azugu confirmed, the operative who slapped the legislator is under investigations by National Security. The National Security Minister on day one of the hearings told the Commission the operative had been identified but not arrested.
