Shaibu was impeached on Monday by the Edo house of Assembly.

His impeachment followed the adoption of the report of a seven-man investigative panel.

The panel was set up by Daniel Okungbowa, chief judge of Edo, and was headed by S. A. Omonuwa, a retired justice.

The panel in its report said the allegation of perjury was not proved beyond reasonable doubt by the complainant against Shaibu.

It, however, said that the allegation of disclosure of government official documents was proved beyond reasonable.

18 of the 20 members that were present at the plenary voted in favour of the panel reports while one voted against them.

The new Deputy Governor designate is expected to be inaugurated soon.
