The sacking of the trio is contained in a statement by the Secretary to the State Government, Mrs Folashade Ayoade-Arike, in Lokoja on Tuesday.

Although no reason was given for Apeh’s sack, Ayoade-Arike said that the governor approved the termination of his appointment with immediate effect.

She, however, said that Isah-Yunusa and Salifu were relieved of their appointments because of  “misconduct”.
