…AG Faults suspension
By Ayo Kehinde
However, Osagie has faulted his suspension.
His statement said, “My attention has just been drawn to a Government special announcement dated 5th February, 2925 in which I was alleged to have been engaged in financial infractions with the Chairman of the Local Government Service Commission and therefore suspended.
“Let me state unequivocally that I am not and was never involved in any financial dealing with anyone nor committed any financial infraction of any kind. I was also not confronted with the said allegations by anyone before my suspension was announced.
“I shall be ready, willing and prepared to defend myself and prove my innocence in order to clear my name and hard earned reputation which I have laboured to build over the years.”
Dr. Samson Osagie, a private legal practitioner, was called to the Nigerian Bar on March 22nd, 1995, and is Vice President of the African Bar Association (West African Region).
He served as a two-term Member of the Edo State House of Assembly and represented Edo at the House of Representatives, where he rose to the position of Minority Whip.
