Ikpeazu suspends Chief of Staff for spraying money on controversial prophet

The Abia State Governor, Okezie Ikpeazụ, on Sunday suspended his Chief of Staff, ACB Agbazuere.

The governor’s decision was announced in a statement issued by the Secretary to the State Government, Chris Ezem.

He said the suspension is with immediate effect.

Although Mr Ezem did not give a reason for the suspension, it is widely believed that Governor Ikpeazu decided to suspend Agbazuere following a video which captured him spraying naira notes on a controversial Nigerian prophet, Odumeje, inside the Government House.

In his statement on Sunday, Mr Ezem did not specify the duration of the suspension.

He, however, said the governor also appointed the Permanent Secretary in charge of Government House, Alozie Odoemelam, as the acting chief of staff.

The statement read: “Abia State Governor, Dr Okezie Ikpeazu, has directed the immediate suspension from office of the Chief of Staff to the Governor, Dr ACB Agbazuere”

“The Permanent Secretary, Government House, Mr Alozie Odoemelam, will perform the duties of the office of Chief of Staff until further notice.”
