Edo House of Assembly Impeaches Deputy Governor Philip Shaibu

The Edo State House of Assembly made a significant decision on Monday by impeaching the state’s Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu.

This action came after the Assembly adopted the report of a seven-man investigative panel tasked with probing allegations of misconduct against Shaibu.

According to reports, the seven-man panel, led by Justice S.A. Omonua, concluded its investigation on Friday.

The panel was established by the Chief Judge of Edo State, Justice Daniel Okungbowa, on March 22, 2024, following the Assembly’s resolution to investigate the impeachment petition against the deputy governor. The petition primarily centered on allegations of gross misconduct and perjury.

Alongside Justice Omonua, the panel comprised members such as Professor Theresa Akpoghome, Oghogho Ayodele Oviasu, Surveyor Andrew Oliha, Idris Abdulkareen, President Aigbokhian, and Mariam Erakhoba Ilavbare.
