The Edo State House of Assembly on Monday impeached the Deputy Governor of the state, Comrade Philip Shaibu.
His impeachment followed the adoption of the report of the seven-man investigative panel set up by the Assembly.
The panel, which probed allegations of misconduct against Shaibu, was inaugurated last week.
The embattled Deputy Governor failed to appear before the panel.

His lawyer, Prof. Oladoyin Awoyale (SAN), who appeared before the seven-man panel headed by Justine Stephen A. Omonuwa (retd), said he would not be continuing with the proceedings because an High Court in the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja had asked all parties before it in a case of enforcement of fundamental human rights instituted by him to come on April 8, 2024 to show cause on why or not it should grant the reliefs sought.
When the panel overruled the objection, Awoyale sought the permission of the panel to excuse himself.
