Typographical errors are not uncommon. After all, we are humans but when such mistakes are made too often, what is the excuse?
This is the case in an official statement released by the
Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) on Tuesday.
Danladi Umar, chairman of the CCT, was caught on video
physically assaulting a security man at Banex Plaza, Wuse 2, Abuja.
In an attempt to explain what transpired before the
incident, the tribunal issued a statement signed by Ibraheem Al-Hassan, CCT
spokesperson, which had a lot of grammatical errors in almost every sentence.
One will wonder if the errors were careless mistakes or a
sheer case of not knowing what is grammatically correct.
The statement reads: “Our attention was drawn on a report
from some online publication with a video cliff suggesting Hon chairman,
Justice Danladi Y. Umar assaulted a security guard at Banex Plaza.”
“To start with, the said plaza has been his usual place of
visits for the past 18 years for shopping and repairs of his phones, and in all
these periods there have never been any time he had any turmoil with anybody,”
Al-Hassan said.
“Unfortunately, yesterday’s altercations started over a
packing lot, which chairman met vacant and it was directly opposite a shop he
want to make a purchase and to fixe his phone, when the young security guard
sighted him, he ordered that chairman should not pack his car in that
particular empty space, but chairman asked why, the security guard couldn’t
convinced chairman, though chairman didn’t identify himself, because to him is
needless and is a place he visited often, but the boy was rode in his approached
and threaten to deal with chairman if he refuse to leave the scene.
“Again, if chairman had went there to cause trouble or
intimidate some one, as suggested in the report, he would have gone there in
his full official paraphernalia, but he went there alone with his younger
brother.
“The police men seen in the video cliff were not the
chairman’s police team, they were policemen operating around the plaza whom at
first instance intervened before the arrival of police team from Maitama police
station.
“As the few policemen
in the complex were apparently overwhelmed by the mobs, consisting of BIAFRAN
boys throwing matches and shape object to his car, which led to deep cut and
dislocation in one of his finger, causing damage to his car, smashing his
windscreen.
“At a point he attempted to leave the scene, these same
miscreants, BIAFRAN boy ordered for the closure of the gate thereby assaulting
him before the arrival of police team from Maitama police station.
“An incident like this when it happened, sympathy usually
goes to the low personalities. Though is unfortunate as I said, it ought not to
have happened.”
