People have been asking me, “Simon , were you at that press conference on 14 September where Prophet T.B. Joshua allegedly gave N50,000 to journalists to write a positive story on the building collapse that killed many people?”, my answer is always the same. I was not at that event, I do not know if he gave a bribe, I do not know if it was N50,000, and cannot comment on it.
