Ebonyi State Governor order immediate suspension of the state Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice



   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.
