The court of appeal sitting in Abuja has affirmed the judgment of a federal high which reinstated Philip Shaibu as Edo state...
The court of appeal has dismissed a suit filed by the Edo state house of assembly against Philip Shaibu, deputy governor of the state.
At the court session on Tuesday, Olusegun Jolaawo, counsel representing the Edo assembly, moved an application to withdraw the appeal marked CA/ABJ/CV/645/2024. “We have filed a notice of withdrawal of the appeal since we have another appeal before the court which will take care of the instant situation,” Jolaawo told the court.Contrary to reports that the court of appeal affirmed the judgment of the Abuja federal high court, which ordered Shaibu’s reinstatement, the instant case dismissed is an interlocutory appeal against a ruling in a fundamental rights suit marked FHC/ABJ/CS/405/2024 pending before the federal high court in Abuja.
Omotosho further ordered that Shaibu’s salaries and allowances—from April when he was impeached—should be paid to him.The appeal filed against Omotosho’s judgment is still pending before the appellate court.
