Governor Hyacinth Alia of Benue State on Monday lifted the suspension on the state’s Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice and Public Order, Fidelis Mnyim.
The reinstatement was announced by the governor during the state executive council meeting in Makurdi, the state capital.
Newspot recalls that the Benue State Attorney General was suspended on October 23 following his unilateral decision to include the state as a party in the suit challenging the legality of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC and the Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission, ICPC.
Tersoo Kula, the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, briefed newsmen after the meeting.
Kula said that Mnyim was recalled from his suspension after he withdrew the state from the list of states seeking the constitutionality of the laws establishing the two anti-graft agencies.
He said the commissioner met the requirements for his reinstatement.
