Edo State Deputy Governor, Philip Shaibu, has been denied access to his office at the Government House in Benin, the state capital.

On getting to the state house on Monday morning, the Deputy Governor met the gate locked with chain and padlock.

“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 speaking to a yet-to-be-identified person on phone.

The deputy governor and his aides were said to have waited for about an hour before leaving.
