A Federal High Court sitting in Abuja today has annulled the impeachment of Philip Shuaibu as the Deputy Governor of Edo State.
Delivering the Judgment, Justice James Omotosho called for the immediate reinstatement to office of Shuaibu stating that the Edo State House of Assembly did not carry out the impeachment following due process.
The Judge also set aside the appointment of the Deputy Governor who replaced Shuaibu.
The court asked the Inspector General of Police to restore Philip Shuaibu’s security details as he resumes office saying the all allegations against Shuaibu does not constitute gross misconduct in anyway as alleged by the Edo State House of Assembly.
