Court Reinstates Shaibu as Edo Deputy Governor; Assembly Appeals Decision

Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja has reinstated Philip Shaibu as the Deputy Governor of Edo State, months after his impeachment by the state assembly. In the Wednesday judgment, Justice Omotosho declared the impeachment illegal and unconstitutional, citing gross violations of the Constitution.

In addition to restoring Shaibu, the court ordered that his salaries and allowances be paid from April, when he was impeached. The court also directed Inspector General of Police Kayode Egbetokun to reinstate Shaibu's security details.
