He commended the military’s restraint in merely occupying the plaza rather than taking harsher measures. He called for greater understanding and cooperation from innocent parties affected by the military’s actions, highlighting the collective responsibility everyone bears when such egregious acts occur.

He said in an interview with Arise TV, ”I believe that the Banez plaza has leadership and they have an association, they need to co-operate with the military in the investigation. The business owners in Banez plaza must bring out those who committed that dastardly act. I do not subscribe to acting irrationally and I think that the army has been quite moderate by just occupying the Plaza.
For me, I can call for greater understanding on the part of those who are innocent in that case. This is actually what we all bear collectively when such an act is committed by people who have lost their conscience in my view. The military has sets of protocols with which to administer itself. Any officer or Soldier who engages in an act that put the Armed Forces into disrepute is disciplined.
