A statement issued on Thursday, September 11, by the Special Adviser to the Governor on Media and Publicity, Yahayya Sarki, says the decision followed a directive from the governor requesting the Commissioner to provide a detailed explanation for alleged negligence of duty and failure to uphold the responsibilities of his office.
