Suspended Delta State Commissioner for Works (Highways and Urban Roads), Comrade Reuben Izeze, has reportedly remained in high spirits and continued to support inmates of the Medium Security Custodial Centre, Warri, despite being remanded at the facility.
Izeze was on Monday arraigned before a Delta State High Court sitting in Effurun over an alleged assault on Simon Umudi, Senior Special Assistant to Governor Sheriff Oborevwori on Protocol.

Following the proceedings, the court remanded Izeze at the custodial centre alongside his associate, Simeon Aguariavwodo, pending further proceedings in the case.
However, despite his detention, Izeze has reportedly continued to show concern for the welfare of fellow inmates through interventions aimed at providing relief and improving their living conditions.
Sources at the facility said the suspended commissioner was planning to organise the “Ukodo na Tevwe” football tournament for inmates, despite his reported health challenges and ongoing legal battle.
Izeze is also said to have paid fines for some inmates who were unable to meet their financial obligations, facilitating their release and helping to ease the burden on their families.
In another intervention, the former commissioner is reportedly collaborating with the Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC) on the provision of a water project for the custodial centre.
The proposed project is expected to improve inmates’ access to potable water and address some of the facility’s basic needs.

His conduct has reportedly attracted attention within the custodial centre, with sources describing him as maintaining a positive disposition, showing compassion towards fellow inmates and displaying remarkable composure despite his current legal predicament.
The development has also sparked discussions about Izeze’s continued engagement in humanitarian activities even while facing legal proceedings.
