The impeachment move is believed to be the latest development in the rift between Shaibu and his principal, Governor Godwin Obaseki.
There had been an uneasy calm between the deputy governor and his principal since last year when Shaibu declared his interest to join this year’s Edo governorship race.
His impeachment was announced on Monday after the conclusion of the sitting on Friday.
Shaibu had shunned the sitting, explaining that the case was in court.
