Ondo State Governor, Lucky Aiyedatiwa, has sacked one of his political aides, the Special Assistant on Forestry (Central Senatorial District), Adeboye Taofiq Ewenla, with immediate effect.
The sack was contained in a statement on Wednesday by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Ebenezer Adeniyan.
“This followed allegations of bribery and intimidation levelled against Mr. Ewenla by some timber merchants in the state,” he said.
“Governor Aiyedatiwa also ordered a probe into the activities of those saddled with the responsibility of managing forest reserves in the State.
“A replacement for Mr. Ewenla will be announced in due course. The Governor urged all political appointees to conduct themselves in line with the provisions of the law and rules guiding their duties.”
