The Edo State government has embarked on moves to retrive 20 government vehicles in the custody of the impeached Edo State Deputy Governor, Phillip Shuaibu.

In a public notice signed by the state Commissioner of Information and Orientation, Chris Osa Nehikhare, on Tuesday, the vehicles to be retrieved were listed.

The notice titled ‘Publich Notice On Retrieval Of 22 Official Government Vehicles’, the Commissioner disclosed that Philip Shaibu has been given seven days to return the vehicles.

The commissioner said should the former Deputy Governor fail to obey the directive, security agencies have been put on alert to retrieve the vehicles.

The notice stated:“The Edo State Government hereby issues this notice directing the retrieval of official government vehicles allocated to the Office of the Deputy Governor, Edo State, which are currently in the custody of the former Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu.

“The former Deputy Governor is by this notice given a seven-day ultimatum from the date of this publication to return the vehicles, as relevant security agencies have been put on alert to retrieve the vehicles after the expiration of the notice.”

Shaibu was impeached by the Edo State House of Assembly after he fell out with Governor Obaseki, allegedly over his gubernatorial ambition.

Shaibu was later replaced by Marvellous Omobayo Godwins, a former chieftain of the Labour Party (LP).
