Court Remands Delta Commissioner, Izeze as Gov Oborevwori Suspends Him From Office
Governor Sheriff Oborevwori suspended Reuben Izeze indefinitely as police and other agencies investigate allegations tied to a viral assault video.
- On Monday, the Delta State Government indefinitely suspended Commissioner for Works Reuben Izeze after a High Court ordered him remanded for fourteen days over the alleged assault of Governor Sheriff Oborevwori's aide, Simon Mudi, known as "Temple."
- The suspension follows a viral video showing an assault on Mudi at the Petroleum Training Institute in Effurun during a July All Progressives Congress meeting, where assailants struck him with bottles and chairs as participants fled in panic.
- Secretary to the State Government Kingsley Emu announced the indefinite suspension to allow for an impartial investigation, emphasizing the state's commitment to maintaining public safety and protecting the sanctity of human life regardless of institutional involvement.
- Former Deputy Senate President Ovie Omo-Agege described the incident as "political thuggery," alleging a "coordinated campaign of violence and intimidation" ahead of 2027 elections and linking it to an earlier attack on NDC candidate Chris Iyovwaye in Agholokpe.
- Delta officials rejected the allegations of systemic violence, urging critics not to exploit the incident for political purposes while maintaining the investigation will proceed regardless of state institutional involvement.
