GOVERNOR Hyacinth Alia of Benue State has recalled the state’s Attorney General, Commissioner for Justice and Public Order, Fidelis Bemsen Mnyim, from suspension.
The governor had on October 23, 2024 suspended the Mnyim following his alleged unilateral decision to join a lawsuit challenging the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and Independent Corrupt Practices Commission (ICPC) without the governor’s permission.
