Delta State Governor, Ifeanyi Okowa, has ordered the sack of his security aide, Friday Eluro, who was caught on video assaulting a woman.
In a statement on Friday by his spokesperson, Charles Aniagwu, the governor warned that he would not condone indecent treatment of Deltans especially from government officials who should be ambassadors and role models.
Mr Okowa has also ordered full investigation into the incident.
“Governor Okowa having watched the video of the assault on the woman has directed that the appointment of Mr Friday Eluro as Security Aide be terminated forthwith to serve as deterrent to others.
“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 to watch appointees of government or any other person no matter how highly placed in the society to take laws into their hands,” the statement read in part.
