"The reporter was later directed to the head of the team that carried out the demolition exercise at Batokunku, Mr. Muhammed Batchilly"
Mr. Muhammed Batchilly said: " they are not mandated to talk to journalist unless they are authorized to do so by the Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Local Government and Lands upon a written request from the concerned media house"
...................................................................... ONE MAY THINK THAT THE REPORTER MAY HAVE THOUGHT OR EVEN SAID:
Oh,I see I am very sorry to have asked you.
Can you give me the name and phone number of the holder of the office of the Permanent Secretary at the Ministry of Local Government and Lands today ?
Excuse me. I forgot that you cannot talk to journalists!
