A seven-man panel, set up by the Chief Judge of Edo State, Daniel Okungbowa, established to investigate the impeachment petition against the Edo State Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu is set to commence its mandate.
The panel is scheduled to commence its sitting on April 3 at the Judges Conference Room, New High Court Complex, Benin City.
According to George Odidi, the administrative secretary of the panel in a statement made available to Uptown Press on Thursday explained that, parties or their counsel are expected to be present while the complainant is expected to be ready to present its case. This indicates that the panel is ready to begin its investigation in a fair and impartial manner.
It would be recalled that the State House of Assembly had served impeachment notice on the deputy governor on March 6, 2024, over alleged misconduct and perjury. This led to the constitution of the seven-man panel to investigate the allegations in the impeachment notice.
The panel is made up of Justice S.A. Omonua (rtd), Professor Theresa Akpoghome, Oghogho Ayodele Oviasu, Surveyor Andrew Oliha, Idris Abdulkareen, President Aigbokhian, and Mariam Erakhoba Ilavbare. This is a diverse group of individuals who have been selected to ensure that the investigation is carried out in a thorough and unbiased manner.
The statement reads, “Take notice that consequent upon the inauguration of the above panel by His Lordship the Hon. Chief Judge of Edo State, Hon. Justice D.I. Okungbowa in line with section 188 subsection 5 of the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria 1999, the said Panel shall commence sitting at Judges Conference room, New High Court Complex, Benin City on Wednesday 3″day of April, 2024 at 10:00Am prompt.
