Court Nullifies Phillip Shuaibu’s Impeachment As Edo Deputy Governor
By TAIYE AGBAJE
A Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday, nullified the impeachment of 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 Edo State House of Assembly failed to comply with due process in the purported impeachment.
Justice Omotosho held that the allegation on which the House of Assembly based the impeachment proceedings was untenable in law and did not constitute a gross misconduct.
The judge, therefore, 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.
Justice Omotosho equally set aside the appointment of another deputy governor in the place of Shaibu.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that Shaibu, who was in court, shed tears of joy upon hearing the judge’s pronouncements. (NAN)
