I have since admitted to all charges and am currently assessing the damage”.He also added that “I will live with vigilance and regret for the rest of my life to ensure this never happens again. I will cooperate sincerely with the upcoming investigation and accept any penalties imposed. There is no room for any excuse. I bow my head once again to apologise. I am sorry”.
