The Delta State Government has suspended the Works Commissioner, Hon. Izeze Rume Yakubu Reuben, following allegations of an assault on the Senior Special Assistant to the Governor on Protocol, Mr. Simon Mudi, also known as 'Temple'. This decision was made to allow security agencies to conduct an impartial investigation into the incident.
The alleged assault reportedly took place at the Petroleum Training Institute (PTI) in Effurun, Uvwie Local Government Area, during a meeting of the All Progressives Congress (APC). The Secretary to the State Government, Dr. Kingsley Emu, stated that the suspension was necessary to ensure a thorough and interference-free investigation into the matter.
The state government remains committed to maintaining public safety, law and order, and the integrity of human lives, regardless of the individuals or institutions involved. The suspension is expected to remain in place until the investigation is completed by the relevant security agencies.
