The office of the deputy governor of Edo State, on Osadebe Avenue, Benin, the state capital, has been sealed off by stern-looking policemen who were spotted there on Sunday.
The sealed office was the one Philip Shaibu was relocated outside the Government House in the height off his face off with Governor Godwin Obaseki.
As of Sunday, the entry gate was closed while a machine gun-mounted police truck with three policemen was parked in front of the gate.
It was gathered that staff of the office were on Friday told to resume at the John Odigie Oyegun Public Service Agency while the official vehicles in the deputy governor’s office including the Press Crew bus have been moved to the office of the Head of Service inside the Government House in Osadebe Avenue.
A staff of the Deputy Governor’s office on Sunday said, “You know we are civil servants. On Thursday, we were told to resume in JOOPSA and that was where we also resumed on Friday and we would also do that tomorrow (Monday).”
