Operatives of the Department of State Security (DSS) and the police stormed the Lagos State House of Assembly on Monday morning, sealing the offices of Speaker Mojisola Meranda, her deputy, and the clerk of the House.
According to reports, armed security personnel took control of the Assembly complex in Alausa, Ikeja, around 10 a.m., restricting movement and frisking passersby.
Speaker Meranda and her convoy arrived at the premises at approximately 11:15 a.m.
The security operation follows a legal challenge by former Speaker Mudashiru Obasa, who was impeached on January 13, 2025.
Obasa has filed a lawsuit contesting his removal, arguing that the sitting which led to his impeachment was unconstitutional.
In his suit, Obasa contends that the Assembly convened during recess without proper authorization. He is seeking an expedited hearing to determine the legality of the current leadership and prevent a legislative crisis.
