There are indications that Mojisola Meranda has lost the speakership of the Lagos State House of Assembly as her Police escorts have been withdrawn with the impeached Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, arriving at the Assembly Complex with his own security operatives.
Reports indicate that Obasa stormed the Assembly complex around 11:30 AM, this Thursday accompanied by over eleven heavily armed police officers and civil defence personnel and headed straight to the Speaker’s Office.
Reports say that the doors to the Speaker’s office were forcibly opened since the House is currently on recess, a development that has thrown the Assembly into disarray.
According to a source close to Obasa’s camp, his security aides were reinstated earlier this Thursday morning , same day those of Meranda were withdrawn.
Confirming the withdrawal of Meranda’s security details, her Special Adviser on Information, Victor Ganzallo, expressed deep concern, warning that the decision leaves the Speaker and the Assembly complex exposed to potential threats.
“As we speak, all security has been withdrawn from the Speaker, and she is now on her own,” Ganzallo lamented.
