Ichung’wah further explained that during the second call, he chose to respond more firmly to what he was hearing.
He alleged he told the President, “Now I have heard it, I am sorry, I will disconnect you, and the worst you can do is to kill me. If you will do it, do it tonight, not tomorrow.”
He added that this statement was made in the moment before he proceeded to end the call completely. He indicated that the conversation reached a point where he felt it was no longer necessary to continue engaging through that line.
