Breaking: Court nullifies impeachment of Shuaibu as Edo Deputy Governor
By Ali Baba-Inuwa
A Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday nullified the impeachment of Mr Phillip Shaibu as the Deputy Governor of Edo.
Justice James Omotosho, in a judgment, ordered his reinstatement to the office on the grounds that the State House of Assembly failed to comply with due process in the purported impeachment.
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 Inspector-General (I-G) of Police to provide him with needed security to enable him resume office and perform the functions of the office until the end of his tenure. Ends
