Shortly after the withdrawal of Police escorts from embattled Speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly, Mojisola Lasbat Meranda on Thursday and in a dramatic turn of events, the impeached Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, arrived at the Assembly complex in company of a team of heavily armed security operatives.

Obasa, who was removed from office last month, stormed the Assembly complex with more than 11 police officers and proceeded directly to the Speaker’s office, ignoring his colleagues who were seen gathered in the Assembly’s garden deliberating on the ongoing crisis.

The development followed reports that the security details of his successor in office, Rt. Hon. Mojisola Meranda, have been withdrawn.

According to reports, the police escorts assigned to Meranda, as well as those securing the Assembly complex, were relieved of their duties with immediate effect.

The abrupt withdrawal of security aides has left both the Speaker and the legislative building vulnerable, raising concerns over the stability of the Assembly. With Obasa reclaiming the Speaker’s office despite his impeachment, the situation has remained tense, and the next course of action by lawmakers remained uncertain.
