Spokesperson of the Chairman of the Code of Conduct Tribunal, CCT Ibraheem Al-Hassan, has confessed that he was instructed by his boss, Danladi Umar, to use “Biafran Boys” in the statement he released in defence of Monday’s public assault of a security guard at Banex Plaza, Wuse, Abuja.
In a second statement issued, Alhassan explained that his earlier statement which was full of grammatical blunders, and has since generated criticism, was written under pressure.
While regretting that the statement was full of grammatical errors, he said he did not have time to edit the statement, which he typed with his phone, before releasing it.
“All the grammatical errors and what have you, were not noted. I did not proofread it; I was in the car when I composed it with my android (phone).
“There has never been an issue with my statements, as I am speaking with you, I am regretting my action.
“There’s a problem with that statement. In fact, we are about disowning it. We want to retract the content because it was written under intense pressure. I must confess to you, that is why there are many structural imbalances, language structure not being perfect and, again, some of the expressions used. I acted on instruction,” he said.
It would be recalled that the CCT boss, was caught on camera physically assaulting a security guard in a five-minute video that has gone viral online.
