The Minister of Home Affairs criticized Hot Off the Press for the way it attacked the women and for, in his words, “adding insult to injury” by showing the video recording publicly of the two alleged victims. The actions by Hot of the Press, according to Minister Musa, who is also an attorney, prove nothing at all of the accused’s innocence.

“I don’t want to acknowledge Hot Off The Press as a legitimate media house, and I’m sure that other media houses can look to this particular social media platform sorry – media house as carrying out very despicable actions by showing imagery and video footage from the nightclub that night that really did not go to prove anything at all. And then to further insult to injury to make a commentary about how that in some way exonerates the individual, I just find it to be downright unacceptable and despicable.”
