According to a statement issued yesterday by the Chief Press Secretary to the Governor, Peter Okhiria, other members of the committee had been suspended, adding that they would undergo screening before being reconsidered for re-engagement.

The governor, in the release, warned dealers in the state that they stand the risk of having their land revoked if they do not revert to the official pump prices of petroleum products.
