The caretaker committee of the All Progressives Congress, Rivers State chapter, has suspended Senator Magnus Abe and Igo Aguma.

The Isaac Ogbubula-led committee, whose faction is loyal to Minister of Transportation Rotimi Amaechi, announced the suspension at a media briefing on Saturday, saying the decision to suspend the two chieftains was taken at a meeting of the committee earlier in the day.

Mr Ogbubula said the state committee has recommended their expulsion from the party.

He said the move followed reports from ward 16 in Gokana Local Government Area against Abe and from ward two in Port Harcourt Local Government Area in the case of Aguma.

The committee also suspended former attorney-general and commissioner for justice Wogu Booms as well as Livingstone Nweche the media adviser to Aguma.
