Gombe State Governor, Muhammadu Inuwa Yahaya, has ordered the immediate dismissal of four aides over their alleged involvement in the assault of a serving councillor.
The decision followed the conclusion of investigations into the attack on Abdulrahman Abubakar Sheriff, the councillor representing Shamaki Ward in Gombe Local Government Area.
