Okowa orders sack of aide for assault

Delta Governor, Dr Ifeanyi Okowa has ordered the sack of Mr Friday Eluro who was caught on video assaulting a woman.

The Governor in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Charles Aniagwu, frowned at the assault on a woman by an appointee of government who ought to ensure that rule of law was observed in all situations.

Part of the statement said,”Governor Okowa having watched the video of the assault on a certain woman has directed that the appointment of Mr Friday Eluro as Security Aide be terminated forthwith to serve as deterrent to others.”

Continuing, “In the last three and half years, our administration have worked so hard to entrench the enduring peace in our state and we will not sit back and fold our hands watch appointees of government or any other person no matter how highly placed in the society take laws into their hands.”

He warned appointees of government to be of good behaviour and always remember that they were ambassadors of government and are expected to be role models in the society.

Okowa also directed full investigation into the incident.
