According to The Cable, the Senate President'sDirector of Protocol, Arthur Ndiwe and Head of Administration, Folashade Adigun, were casualties in the clear out.
However, his special adviser, Yusuph Olaniyonu, refused to confirm the sackings, telling The Cable, "I am not aware of any sack. I am still at work."
