WARRI — The suspended Delta State Commissioner for Works (Highways and Urban Roads), Reuben Izeze, has reportedly paid fines for some inmates at the Medium Security Custodial Centre, Warri, where he is currently being remanded.
Izeze was on Monday arraigned before a Delta State High Court sitting in Effurun over an alleged connection with the July 26 assault on Simon Umudi, popularly known as Temple, a Senior Special Assistant to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori on Protocol.
Following the proceedings, the court remanded Izeze and an associate, Simeon Aguariavwodo, at the custodial centre pending further proceedings in the case.
However, sources at the facility said on Wednesday that the development had not affected Izeze’s disposition, but had instead heightened his concern for the welfare of fellow inmates.
