 Court nullifies Phillip Shuaibu’s impeachment as Edo Deputy Governor


A Federal High Court in Abuja has voided the impeachment of Phillip Shuaibu as the Deputy Governor of Edo State.

Shuaibu, who was in court, shed tears of joy upon hearing the judge’s pronouncements.

Justice Omotosho held that the allegation on which the House of Assembly based the impeachment proceedings was untenable in law and does not constitute a gross misconduct.

The judge ordered the IGP 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 set aside the appointment of anoth Deputy Governor in the place of Shuaibu.
