Speaker Mojisola Meranda of the Lagos State House of Assembly has faced a significant development as all her security aides, including police officers and operatives from the Department of State Services (DSS), have been withdrawn. This move occurred on Thursday morning and comes amid an ongoing leadership crisis within the Assembly.
The crisis began on January 13 when former Speaker Mudashiru Obasa was impeached, leading to Meranda's ascension to the position. However, Obasa's impeachment has been met with resistance from some quarters, and there have been efforts to reinstate him. In a surprising turn of events, Obasa's security details were recently restored, sparking speculation about his potential return to office.
