More Problems For Impeached Edo Deputy Governor, Shaibu, Residence Partly Demolished

The security post at the private residence of the impeached Edo state deputy Governor, Comrade Philip Shaibu, has been demolished barely a week after his removal.

While Shaibu was in office, the security post, by Benin Golf Course in the Government Reservation Area (GRA), was always very busy, but it became deserted immediately after last Monday’s removal of the then-deputy governor.

GWG.ng reports that members of the demolition team, backed by fully-armed policemen and operatives of Edo Security Network, without resistance, quickly pulled down the expensive structures with a bulldozer, at about 5 p.m. on Sunday.

A female resident of Shaibu’s compound, who spoke in confidence, insisted that there was no notice given to the former deputy governor, before the demolition, describing the action as barbaric and ridiculous.

It was also gathered from some of Shaibu’s displeased neighbours and passersby, who identified the demolition team’s members as being from Government House, Benin, described the action as inhumane.

Ebomhiana Musa who served as Shaibu’s chief press secretary as deputy governor declined to speak on the demolition.

GWG.ng reports that the impeached Edo deputy governor has expressed optimism in getting justice at the Federal High Court (FHC), Abuja, presided over by Justice Inyang Ekwo, over his removal.
