In a fresh blow to Governor Godwin Obaseki, Justice James Omotosho of the Federal High Court, Abuja Division, has dismissed an application for stay of execution filed by the Edo State government and the House of Assembly.
The case sought to halt the reinstatement of Rt. Hon. Comrade Philip Shaibu as Deputy Governor of Edo State, but the court rejected their plea and instead imposed a fine of ₦200,000 on each appellant, including Obaseki and the Speaker of the House.
