For a customary Nigerian, it is an unthinkable to endeavor to surpass the guard of any administration official regardless of the fact that the street is allowed to oblige numerous vehicles. This attitude which was acquired from military guideline has turned into a standard even with no authoritative sponsorship and endeavor for drivers to do generally draws in the fierceness of the enthusiastic security work force in the escort. Notwithstanding, it was an alternate ball-game on April 20, 2016 at the National Assembly complex when the escort of the previous Comptroller-General of Nigerian Prisons Service, Peter Ekpendu had trusted that it was the same old thing chose to slide on the part speaking to Aniocha/Oshimili Federal Constituency of Delta State, Evangelist Joan Mrakpor, who having shut for the day's exercises was likewise heading home. With Ekpendu's escort in its aggressive inclination and Mrakpor scrambling for a heavenly arrangement, something will undoubtedly give way. How Mrakpor's vehicle went up against Ekpendu's escort remains a matter of question however what happened was that the official's vehicle was asserted to have declined to clear a path for the jail CG's caravan provoking an officer in the guard, an Assistant Comptroller-General of Prisons, Usman Shehu Kangiwa, to slam into the entryway of the administrator. As the skirmish went on, an Inspector and a more junior officer to the Comptroller, Idaa Odey, in a way to shield his supervisor from any suspected affront, professedly endeavored to or slapped the official. Rep. Mrakpor Rep. Mrakpor This advancement did not run down well with the House, which on the following day's sitting requested the quick appearance of the Comptroller General, Ekpendu and the Minister of Interior Abdulrahman Danbazzau over the charged physical attack on their associate. The administrators similarly constrained the House of Representatives Committee on Interior to examine the matter and answer to the House on Tuesday 26th April 2016. Ekpendu, who was about continuing on retirement when the occurrence happened in the end showed up before the panel and said that however he had gone out as at the time the episode occurred, that he had chosen to assume liability for the activities of his officers. The Jagaba Adams-drove board of trustees was informed that the Comptroller General of Prisons had officially left the door where the episode occurred with the pilot and the move down autos. Affirming before the Committee, Rep Mrakpor, who presented herself as a TV evangelist said that before she drew nearer the entryway that there was a long guard of SUVs made up of Prado Jeeps and that she advised her driver to surpass the escort. She said that simply near the way out door, two vehicles she had overwhelmed halted and all of a sudden the tenants of the vehicle began striking against her vehicle which made her ask what the badgering at the National Assembly was about. She said, "when I slowed down, the individual by my privilege said, you futile whore and slapped me, then I descended. The man who hit my vehicle let me know don't you know it is the escort of the Comptroller General." She likewise said that security operators at the entryway were against her and that one police woman went to her Orderly to instruct him to tellthe Honorable not to enter any guard. "I have been a government official and been holding workplaces since 1999. Consistently you get attacked, however for the ambush of a jail officer, I am yet to discover my offense, you either permit a man to overwhelm the caravan or you stop the individual," the official who was double-crossed by her feelings amid the general population listening to said. The Divisional Police Officer, DPO, responsible for the National Assembly and a Chief Superintendent of Police, CSP, Nancy Ajakuna in her affirmation said passing by the report before her, the security operators did not watch any physical strike as indicated by her, they said they just got notification from the official saying 'you hit me in the face'. The agents of Department of State Services, DSS, the Sergeant-at-arms and other cops on obligation at the time the occurrence occurred told the panel that they never saw any slap from the Prisons officers. In any case, an officer of the Sergeant-at-Arms at the door, Chike Igbo who asserted to have seen the perplexity at the entryway said he was there when the jail's work force pointed his hand on the substance of the legislator and her pair of glasses fell. Pilot and go down autos The CG, who accompanied his Deputy Comptroller Generals, said that he was not at the venue of the occurrence when it occurred as he had officially determined out with his pilot and go down autos however just knew about the episode when he went to see the Commandant of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defense Corps, NSCDC. He said, "I don't endure indiscipline. I am embarrassed about what happened; I am never connected with such. I have a spouse and a mother, the demonstration is savage, humiliating and runs in opposition to my conviction." He said that the officer required in the occurrence would confront disciplinary measures as indicated by the Act setting up the Prisons even as he read the inquiry he had as of now issued to the officers required in the affirmed ambush. Displaying the report of its examinations, Rep. Jagaba said amid the thought of the report at entire that, from the confirmations of six believable witnesses, the board built up past sensible uncertainty that SIP Idaa Odey ambushed Rep. Mrakpor and in this manner, liable of contradicting the Legislative Houses (Powers and Privileges) Act, 2004. In spite of the fact that, when it created the impression that it was just the Inspector was going to confront corrective measure, the House Leader, Gbajabiamila was incensed on the suggestion of the release of the Inspector, while the ACGP, who professedly began the emergency by descending from his vehicle to slam against the vehicle of the administrator which made the Inspector do his activity, was left free and clear.
