For the second time, a Federal High Court in Abuja has refused to stop the impeachment moves initiated against Edo State Deputy Governor, Mr Phillip Shaibu, by the State House of Assembly.

At Wednesday's proceedings, his request for an order of status quo to be maintained by the House of Assembly and others involved in the impeachment saga was turned down by Justice James Kolawole Omotoso. Shaibu, through his lawyer, Professor Olawoyin Awoyale, a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, had orally requested for an order of status quo to be maintained by parties pending the hearing and determination of his motion on notice.

In the motion marked FHC/ABJ/CS/321/2024, the Edo State Government, Edo State Governor, Edo State House of Assembly, Edo State House of Assembly Speaker, the Clerk of the Assembly, the Chief Judge of Edo State, Inspector General of Police IGP and Director General of the Department of State Services, DSS, were listed as the first to eighth defendants.
