Johannesburg – Independent Police Investigative Directorate (Ipid) head Robert McBride has been asked to hand over a warning statement to the Hawks as part of their investigation into him, Ipid spokesperson Moses Dlamini confirmed on Monday.

The Hawks sent a letter to McBride asking him to make the warning statement by 11:00 on Monday, Eyewitness News reported.
