Ebonyi State Governor, David
Umahi has ordered the immediate suspension of the state Attorney General and
Commissioner for Justice, Augustine Nwankwagu, for non-commitment to duty.
The governor also indefinitely
suspended the state Solicitor-General and Permanent Secretary of the ministry
of Justice, Jonathan Okoronkwo for the same reason.
The governor announced the suspensions
in Abakaliki after the duo failed to turn-up for the swearing-in of the
new auditor-general of the state and members of the state judicial service
commission.
According to the governor, the
officers have been absent on such occasions thrice in the past as it caused
serious embarrassment to the state government.
He subsequently appointed his Senior
Special Assistant on Legal Matters, Uwabunkonye Anwusi to act as the attorney
general and supervise the affairs of the ministry.
