The Edo State House of Assembly has called on the state Chief Judge, Justice Daniel Okungbowa, to set up a seven-man panel to investigate the allegations levelled against the state deputy governor, Philip Shaibu.
The state assembly is accusing the deputy governor of misconduct and divulging government information to the public.
The panel is expected to carry out a thorough investigation into the allegations and make necessary recommendations.

The brief sitting on Tuesday was presided over by the Speaker, RT Hon Blessing Agbebaku.
Recall that the Edo State House of Assembly, earlier this month, began an impeachment move against Shaibu, accusing him of constitutional infractions.
Shaibu however denied being served with impeachment notice from the state House.
The inability of the House, according to the Speaker, to physically serve Shaibu led to a substituted service through advertorial in the newspaper.
Meanwhile, in a letter addressed to the Speaker dated March 12, 2024 and titled “RE: Service of Impeachment Notice,” signed by the Personal Assistant to the Deputy Governor, Charles Olubayo, Shaibu denied ever being served any letter and refusing to collect same.
