LEADER of the Opposition, Brigadier David Granger last Friday at A Partnership for National Unity’s weekly press conference confirmed that he did not remove a controversial Facebook photo of himself and executed bandit Kevin Fields.
Granger had found himself at the centre of the issue after the Facebook profile of Fields revealed a “tagged photo” from Granger’s profile at the funeral of Fields’ friend, Shaquille Grant, who was killed by Police ranks during a confrontation in 2012.
The photo was however removed from Granger’s account hours after Fields was killed while attempting a robbery. This sparked speculations as to why the photo was removed from Facebook and who had removed it.
The Opposition leader however maintains that he does not know who posted the photo on his profile or who removed it. He further explained to the media that he doesn’t even know who took the photo. “You have to ask the person who removed it, why they did it… I don’t know why it was removed…. I don’t know who took the photograph, I don’t know who posted it and I don’t know who removed it,” he said.
Responding to a question as to who manages his account, Granger related that “I can’t tell you that,” reiterating, “I did not remove the photo and I did not post it.”
