The Governor of Imo State, Hope Uzodinma, on Wednesday, sacked 20 out of his 28 commissioners.
The eight commissioners not affected by the announcement were of the ministries of Health, Youth and Sports, Tourism, Information and Strategy, Woman Affairs, Works, Finance and Technology.
It was gathered that the governor earlier alleged that some of his appointees were moles sabotaging his administration.
He also reshuffled his cabinet and appointed new Commissioners for Finance and Health.
However, the Governor in a statement by his Chief Press Secretary Nwachuku Oguwike, said he wishes the affected appointees well in their future endeavours.
The statement partly read: ''The Governor has relieved 20 commissioners of his cabinet of their duties leaving only eight persons behind.
“The reason behind the new development is to infuse new blood and add more value to the governance system of the state.
Imo State has been in the eye of the storm of late as members of the proscribed Indigenous People of Biafra have been alleged to attack state security apparatus including prisons and police stations.
