00:00The question that is being asked constantly until now is, did he surrender or was he caught?
00:08I think that is a legal question, but this is what I think.
00:13It will not be clear if we did not chase what we wanted.
00:19In my understanding, the surrender, when they say surrender, I don't know, maybe the legalist can explain this.
00:28But in my understanding, the surrender, when you are wanted, you will go to the police station or to the prosecutor, I don't know where.
00:40The official authority will say, I am surrendering. I know there is a court order, an arrest order, that is why I am surrendering.
00:50That is not what happened. What happened was that he was forced to go out because the police were already close to him.
00:58To his credit, he said that his followers will die for him and he did not want that to happen.
01:08So to his credit, he was still displaying a modicum of leadership to his followers.
01:16Again, I will stress, it was a very involved police action, augmented of course by the AFP, augmented by the civilian arms of government.
01:31But once again, it was really through the efforts of what our policemen did.
