Philip Shaibu, the Deputy Governor of Edo State, has been denied entry to his old office in the Government House in Benin, the state capital.
Shaibu arrived to Government House on Monday morning to find the gate leading to his office locked and barred.
He claims that he has yet to receive an official letter from the governor’s office, which he believes is the necessary method for transmitting a mandate pertaining to the relocation to a new office.
“Up till now, I don’t have any official communication that I should relocate. The only people that have official communication are my civil servants. The civil servants have official communication but I don’t. As I am speaking to you now, I am standing by the gate,” he said while on a phone call to a yet-to-be-identified person.
