Men of the Department of State Security (DSS) and Nigeria Police, in the early hours on Monday, stormed the premises the Lagos State House of Assembly, sealing up the offices of the Speaker, Mojisola Meranda, her deputy and clerk of the house.
The speaker, Mojisola Meranda who arrived the premises at 11:15 am was allegedly denied entry to her office.
One of the lawmakers informed our correspondent that the security operatives were acting on the orders of President Bola Tinubu.
Recall that the embattled, former Speaker of the House, Mudashiru Obasa, has sued the state lawmakers challenging his removal as the Speaker of the Assembly.
Obasa, it was gathered, has filed a motion at the Ikeja Division of the State High Court, where he is also seeking an accelerated hearing of his suit.
Obasa was removed in absentia by 32 out of the 40 members of the state Assembly on January 13, 2025. He was in America when he was removed in a situation described as “coup,” by President Bola Tinubu.
