Ipid head lashes out as security strife escalates
Robert McBride tells the Hawks Gauteng head to take a televised lie detector test on assassination claims
Independent Police Investigative Directorate (Ipid) head Robert McBride has challenged Gauteng Hawks head Prince Mokotedi to take a polygraph test after Mokotedi accused McBride of attempting to assassinate him. Mokotedi laid charges on Monday against McBride, investigator Paul O’Sullivan, former Gauteng Hawks head Shadrack Sibiya and suspended crime intelligence agent Candice Coetzee, accusing them of plotting to assassinate him and national Hawks head Berning Ntlemeza. McBride described the allegations as: "Yet another desperate attempt to implicate me and others in wrongdoing – which attempt can never succeed." He said Mokotedi’s allegations were one of many unsuccessful attempts to bring fabricated cases against him and his colleagues since he took up his position as the head of Ipid.
