Here are some details about Philip Shaibu's reinstatement as the Deputy Governor of Edo State
- Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court in Abuja declared Shaibu's impeachment by the Edo State House of Assembly as unconstitutional and illegal.
- Shaibu was impeached for disclosing government secrets, which the court deemed not a constitutional basis for impeachment.
- The court ordered Shaibu reinstated, with full pay and benefits, and the security details of the Inspector General of Police restored.
- Shaibu's impeachment was seen as a move in a political struggle with Governor Godwin Obaseki, who replaced Shaibu with Omobayo Godwin.
- The Edo State House of Assembly has appealed the court's decision.
