The Deputy Governor of Edo state, Comrade Philip Shaibu has been impeached by the Edo State House of Assembly.
RAYOPOST gathered that Shaibu was impeached on Monday morning by the lawmakers following his indictment by the seven-man panel set up by the Chief Justice of Edo, Justice Justice Daniel Okungbowa.
At the plenary on Monday, no fewer than 18 lawmakers votes in favour of his impeachment, while only lawmaker was against the process.
The Justice Stephen Omonua (Rtd)-led seven-man panel found Shaibu guilty of disclosing official government secret, among others.
However , the panel exonerated the impeached deputy governor on the allegation of perjury because it was not proven beyond reasonable doubt.
