So we are doing a painstaking and intensive investigation so as not to get to court unprepared. That’s all I can tell you. We want to be as diligent as possible.

Trying to justify his claim, he disclosed that most  times, when   suspects to court,  they will be granted bail,because there was no concrete allegation against them.
