Gombe State Governor, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, has approved the immediate dismissal of four aides over their alleged involvement in the physical assault of a councillor.

A statement on Tuesday by the governor’s spokesman, Ismaila Uba Misilli, said the decision was conveyed by the Secretary to the State Government (SSG), Professor Ibrahim Abubakar Njodi, after the findings of a special committee set up to probe the incident.
The statement noted that the committee’s report, which was further corroborated by security agencies, informed the governor’s decision.
Those dismissed are Adamu Abdullahi Danko, Senior Special Assistant II (Domestic); Garba Mohammed Mai Rago, Senior Special Assistant II (Political); Rabiu Sulaiman Abubakar, Senior Special Assistant II (Social Media); and Ali Ibrahim Baban Kaya, Senior Special Assistant II (Community Relations).
Governor Yahaya directed that the disengagement should take immediate effect and instructed the affected officers to hand over all government property in their possession to the appropriate authorities without delay.
Misilli said the governor reiterated his administration’s zero tolerance for violence, misconduct and abuse of office.
