Delta State governor, Senator Ifeanyi Okowa’s aide, Mr Friday Eluro has been caught on video assaulting a lady.

The governor has fired the aide. In a statement by his Chief Press Secretary, Mr. Charles Aniagwu said;

“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”.

“Appointees of government must be of good behaviour and always remember that they are ambassadors of government and are supposed to be role models in the society. The governor has also directed full investigation into the incident with a view to serving the interest of justice.”
