A Federal High Court in Abuja on Wednesday, nullified the impeachment of Phillip Shaibu as the Deputy Governor of Edo.

Justice James Omotosho, in a judgment, ordered his reinstatement to the office on the grounds that the Edo State House of Assembly failed to comply with due process in the purported impeachment.

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