The Edo State House of Assembly has told the state Chief Judge, Justice Daniel Okungbowa, to constitute a seven-man panel which will investigate the allegations levelled against the deputy governor, Philip Shaibu.
The panel will then make necessary recommendations after the investigations.
The state assembly is accusing the deputy governor of misconduct and divulging governments information to the public.
The brief sitting was presided over by the Speaker, RT Hon Blessing Agbebaku.
Recall that the Edo State House of Assembly, earlier this month, began an impeachment move against Shaibu, accusing him of constitutional infractions.
But, Shaibu, denied being served with impeachment notice from the state House of Assembly as claimed by the Speaker, Hon. Blessing Agbebaku during plenary.
The inability of the House, according to the Speaker, to physically serve Shaibu led to a substituted service through advertorial in the newspaper.
Meanwhile, in a letter addressed to the Speaker dated March 12, 2024 and titled “RE: Service of Impeachment Notice,” signed by the Personal Assistant to the Deputy Governor, Charles Olubayo, Shaibu denied ever being served any letter and refusing to collect same.
