Delta suspends works commissioner over alleged assault

A High Court in Effurun, Delta State has ordered the detention of state Commissioner for Works, Highway and Urban Roads, Reuben Izeze for a period of fourteen days, following allegations of an assault on Temple Mudi, a Senior Special Assistant to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori. Shortly after the court's decision, Governor Oborevwori issued a suspension of Izeze, effective immediately.

The suspension was detailed in a statement from Dr Kingsley Eze Emu, the Secretary to the State Government. The suspension is intended to allow security forces to conduct an impartial investigation into the alleged incident that took place at the Petroleum Training Institute (PTI) in Effurun, Uvwie Local Government Area. The statement emphasized the state government's dedication to upholding public safety and ensuring law and order, regardless of the involvement of state institutions.
