The Ebonyi State Government, Governor David Umahi of Ebonyi State has directed that the state Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Augustine Nwankwagu, be relieved of his appointment with immediate effect.

In a 3-paragraph statement issued in Abakaliki, the state capital on Thursday and signed by the Principal Secretary to the Governor, Mr Clement Nweke, said that the former attorney general was relieved of his appointment over acts that were inconsistent with his official duties.
