The Governor of Imo State, HOPE UZODINMA, has recalled his sacked Commissioner for Justice and Attorney General of the state, CYPRIAN AKAOLISA, who he sacked among 19 other Commissioners, retaining eight other Commissioners.

It would be recalled that UZODINMA had on May 12, sacked AKAOLISA and 19 other Commissioners, leaving eight other Commissioners.

But on Monday, the governor retraced his steps, saying he never sacked AKAOLISA, who is currently slammed with a five-year ban from practicing as a lawyer by the Legal Practitioners Disciplinary Committee.

Speaking in a statement, the state Commissioner for information and strategy, DECLAN EMELUMBA, said the governor never sacked AKAOLISA as the Chief Law Officer of the state.
