Luis Wade And Wife Still Want Apology
posted (December 27, 2019)
PLUS TV personality Luis Wade and his wife Shasta say they still haven't gotten an apology from Jumoke Castro after his wildly offensive Facebook post last week.

Wade told the media today that he is, quote, "not satisfied with Compol comments on not finding relevant charges. Our lawyers are saying differently and that will be ventilated in the new year." End quote.

Here again is what the COMPOL had to say when we spoke to him a week ago:

FILE: December 20, 2019
Chester Williams, Commissioner of Police
"I discussed the matter with the DPP yesterday and we are both doing our legal research to see if there is anything is law that we can do. Like you rightfully pointed out, the threat to life is an offence, the threat to damage property is an offence, but as it relates to threat to rape - there is not anything clear in law that we can readily use to prosecute, but we are hoping that by the end of the day today if we find something that we can go on then we are surely going to move forward in terms of dealing with the individual. But at the very least I can advise Mr. Wade and his wife is that they can make a complaint to the public service commission, because under the public service regulation it do makes provision as it relates to the conduct of public officers and the individual who is the author of the post is a public officer and so he must conduct himself in a manner that is consistent with the public service regulation code of conducts."

Wade also circulated a statement from The Church of the Nazarene where this a pastor. It says, quote, "the…Church join(s)

together with the overwhelming majority of Belizeans and social partners in demanding that appropriate criminal and disciplinary charges be brought against Mr. Castro," end quote.
