In his judgment, Justice Omotosho stated that the allegation on which the House of Assembly based the impeachment proceedings was untenable in law and did not constitute gross misconduct.

He also set aside the appointment of the new Deputy Governor who replaced Shaibu.

Additionally, Justice Omotosho ordered the Inspector General of Police to provide Shaibu with the necessary security to enable him to resume office and perform his duties until the end of his tenure.
