The Governor of Ondo State, Hon Lucky Orimisan Aiyedatiwa, on Wednesday dismissed from office the Special Assistant on Forestry (Central Senatorial District), Mr. Adeboye Taofiq Ewenla, with immediate effect.
According to a statement issued by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, the dismissal followed allegations of bribery and intimidation leveled against Mr. Ewenla by some timber merchants in the State.
Governor Aiyedatiwa also ordered a probe into the activities of those saddled with the responsibility of managing forest reserves in the State, noting that a replacement for Mr. Ewenla will be announced in due course.
The Governor urged all political appointees to conduct themselves in line with the provisions of the law and rules guiding their duties.
