In our recent article regarding the investigation involving Austrian national Manuel Stofleth Mitterer, JollofNews reported claims suggesting that Hon. Seedy S.K. Njie, Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly, was approached to interfere with the case.
Hon. Njie has since categorically denied these allegations, stating he has no knowledge of Mr. Mitterer and was never approached by anyone on his behalf.
We acknowledge his response and clarify that there is no verified evidence linking Hon. Njie to any attempt to influence the investigation. JollofNews regrets any reputational harm the report may have caused.
