Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday voided the impeachment of Phillip Shaibu as the Deputy Governor of Edo State.
In his judgment, Justice Omotosho ordered Shaibu’s reinstatement, citing that the Edo State House of Assembly did not follow due process in the impeachment proceedings. The court also nullified the appointment of the new Deputy Governor who had replaced Shaibu.
Justice Omotosho held that the allegations on which the House of Assembly based the impeachment were legally untenable and did not constitute gross misconduct.
He further directed the Inspector General of Police to provide Shaibu with the necessary security to enable him to resume office and perform his duties until the end of his tenure.
