In our issue number 11 - April 2008 of three weeks ago, we published a story under the title, 'Thugs Hiding Behind Police Uniforms Beat Up Youths!'. In that article on page 12 in the second column we wrote, “The second group which came the following week was led by Naiken, the President's bodyguard.”
This newspaper has since been reliably informed that it was not Mr. Naiken, the President's bodyguard, who took part in that particular raid. After further investigation we have managed to establish that it was not the President's bodyguard, but someone else with similar surname. The Editor of Le Nouveau Seychelles Weekly would like to extend his apology to Mr. Naiken, his family and friends and all others who have been affected one way or another by this article.
