The Edo State House of Assembly has impeached the state’s deputy governor Philip Shaibu.

He was impeached during the house’s plenary session on Monday in Benin City, the Edo State capital.

Shaibu’s impeachment followed the adoption of the report of a seven-man committee set up to investigate allegations of misconduct against the deputy governor.

The move is a culmination of the political impasse between the deputy governor and his principal Godwin Obaseki.
