Civil servant suspended over Akeredolu’s death rumour

AKURE—Ondo State government, yesterday, suspended a civil servant for reportedly spreading fake news about the purported death of Governor Rotimi Akeredolu.

The Head of Service, John Adeyemo, who did not disclose the identity of the staff, said the civil servant in question has been suspended and his name forwarded to the Civil Service Commission for appropriate punishment.

Adeyemo said: “The disciplinary measure is based on the death rumour being peddled about the governor.

“The officer posted the fake news on his Facebook account, and such bad behaviour would not be condoned in government.
