The Edo State Government has expressed concerns over a reported plan by reinstated Deputy Governor, Comrade Philip Shaibu, to forcefully enter the Edo State Government House on Monday, September 30th. This comes despite a stay of execution appeal filed against Justice J. K. Omotosho's ruling that ordered Shaibu's reinstatement.
The Edo State Government has raised alarms regarding a purported plan by the reinstated Deputy Governor, Comrade Philip Shaibu , to forcibly enter the Edo State Government House on Monday, September 30, to assert his reinstatement.
In a statement issued late Saturday by Crusoe Osagie, Special Adviser to the Edo State Government, the state called on the Inspector General of Police and well-meaning Nigerians to intervene, warning that Shaibu’s alleged plan could lead to chaos. Part of the statement read, “We want to draw the attention of the Inspector General of Police to the intelligence we have gathered regarding a planned move by the erstwhile Deputy Governor, Comrade Philip Shaibu, to forcefully enter the Edo State Government House to purportedly enforce the ruling of Justice J. K. Omotosho.
“The last time Shaibu attempted to do this, it led to the death of a police officer. We believe that is one death too many, and it is only wise for us to prevent a repeat of such.”
