Court returns Shaibu as Edo deputy governor

Voice Air Media, News Update

Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja has nullified the impeachment of Phillip Shuaibu as the Deputy Governor of Edo State.

Delivering the judgment on Wednesday, Justice Omotosho mandated Shuaibu’s reinstatement, citing the Edo State House of Assembly’s failure to adhere to due process during the impeachment.

The judge also annulled the appointment of Shuaibu’s replacement, ruling that the allegations used to justify the impeachment did not meet the legal threshold for gross misconduct.

Justice Omotosho further directed the Inspector General of Police to provide necessary security for Shuaibu, allowing him to resume his duties and complete his term in office.
