BREAKING: COURT NULLIFIES SHAIBU’S IMPEACHMENT, ORDERS REINSTATEMENT AS EDO DEPUTY GOVERNOR
A Federal High Court in Abuja has overturned the impeachment of Phillip Shaibu as the Deputy Governor of Edo State.
Delivering judgement on Wednesday, Justice James Omotosho, ordered his reinstatement to office on the grounds that the Edo State House of Assembly failed to comply with due process in purporting to impeach Shaibu.
Shaibu, who was in court, shed tears of joy upon hearing the judge’s pronouncements.
Justice Omotosho held that the allegation on which the House of Assembly based the impeachment proceedings was untenable in law and did not constitute gross misconduct.

The judge ordered the IGP to provide him with the needed security to enable him to resume office and perform the functions of the office until the end of his tenure.
