“This is to bring to the notice of the general public that, in line with Section 188 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria , the Honourable Chief Judge of Edo State, Honourable Justice D.I. Okungbowa, has constituted the panel of seven persons to investigate the allegations contained in the impeachment notice against the Deputy Governor of Edo State, Rt. Honourable Philip Shaibu.

The house, according to the speaker, resorted to substituted service because of the deputy governor’s alleged evasion of service.
