Lai Mohammed Summons CCT PRO After Press Statement Blunders by Shehuyinka: 6:23pm On Mar 31, 2021 |
INFORMATION minister Lai Mohammed, on Wednesday, summoned the head of press at the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) Ibraheem Al-Hassan after he committed grammatical blunders in a statement released to journalists on Tuesday. Al-Hassan had written and issued the statement by himself on Tuesday, 30 March 2021, to debunk reports that his boss and chairman of the CCT Justice Danladi Umar assaulted a security guard at Banex Plaza, Wuse 2, Abuja. However, Al-Hassan’s statement contained linguistic, structural, ethical and other blunders not expected of a professional of his calibre. The statement has since gone viral on social media as Nigerians derided both the writer and the CCT. Al-Hassan used ‘video cliff’ in his statement, rather than ‘video clip.’ Also, he preferred using ‘packing lot’ to the correct version, ‘parking lot.’ He also used the phrase ‘had went’ instead of ‘had gone.’ KEEP READING Grammatical errors, ethnic slurs mar CCT’s press statement on Banex incident CCT chairman defends assault on security guard in Abuja plaza, says he was rude “The boy was rode in his approached and threaten,” one of his sentences read. This should have read: “the boy was rude in his approach and threatened.” He committed a grammatical gaffe mixed with ethnic slur against the people of the South-East Nigeria by categorising people he did not know their ethnicity as ‘Biafrans.’ In Al-Hassan’s words, the chairman was “overwhelmed by the mobs, consisting of BIAFRAN boys throwing matches and shape object to his car.” He should have said that his boss was “overwhelmed by the mob, consisting of BIAFRAN boys throwing matches and sharp objects at this car.” READ MORE: https://www.icirnigeria.org/lai-mohammed-summons-cct-pro-after-press-statement-blunders/
