Court Reinstates Philip Shaibu as Edo Deputy Governor

by  milcah   tanimu

The Federal High Court in Abuja has ruled to reinstate Philip Shuaibu as the Deputy Governor of Edo State, overturning his impeachment earlier this year.

In addition to reinstatement, the court has ordered the Inspector General of Police (IGP) to immediately restore Shaibu’s security details.

Shaibu’s impeachment in April followed an investigation by a seven-member committee appointed by Edo State Chief Judge Justice Daniel Okungbowa, alleging misconduct.

Eighteen out of 19 members present at the Edo State House of Assembly voted in favor of his impeachment, with one abstention from the head count and voting process.
