The Inspector General of Police, Ibrahim Idris was in Kano on Monday to commission the Force Technical Intelligence Unit and give a rousing speech. Unfortunately, a video of him struggling to read the written speech, is trending online. He is unable to pronounce certain words. In the video, Idris constantly repeats the words “I mean” and “transmission”.

“I mean, transmission, I mean effort, that the transmission cooperation to transmission, I mean transmission to have effect, ehm, apprehend, I mean, apprehensive towards the recommendation, recommended formation effective and effect, I mean, apprehensive at the transmission of…and transmission and transmission for the effective in the police command,” Idris said

After several attempts to get his speech right, the IGP, struggling with his paper, apologised to his audience.
“Sorry, I’m sorry please,” he said.

A man in suit joins him to help hold down his script, and even helped with the pronunciation of the words. But this didn’t make the reading any better for the IGP.
