The State Commissioner of Information and Orientation, Chris Osa Nehikhare, on Tuesday via a public notice titled ‘Publich Notice On Retrieval Of 22 Official Government Vehicles’, disclosed that Shaibu has been given seven days to return the vehicles.
Nehikhare noted that should the former Deputy Governor fail to obey the directive, security agencies have been put on alert to retrieve the vehicles.
“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,” the notice read.
It would be recalled that Shaibu was impeached by the Edo State House of Assembly after he fell out with Governor Obaseki.
Shaibu was later replaced by a former chieftain of the Labour Party (LP),Marvellous Omobayo Godwins.
