The Edo State Assembly impeached Shaibu on Monday in a culmination of the months-long political drama between Governor Godwin Obaseki and his deputy.

Shaibu was impeached by the lawmakers after the Edo State Assembly adopted a report of a committee probing an alleged misconduct of the now-impeached deputy governor.

The committee found him guilty of sharing state secrets and thus recommended his impeachment.
