The security details attached to Mojisola Meranda, the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, has been reinstated by Police authorities.
Tension in the race for speaker of the Lagos state house of Assembly increased after Meranda’s security personnel were withdrawn on Thursday morning.
However, Lagos State Moshood Jimoh, the Commissioner of Police, gave a briefing hours after the action and blamed the pullout on a personnel audit.
CP Jimoh stated “As I speak with you, the audit of the police personnel attached to Hon Mojisola Meranda has been completed, and the police personnel attached to her from the Lagos State Police Command have been returned to her for her protection”.
On Thursday, Mudashiru Obasa stepped into the Lagos Assembly complex with some of his supporters and insisted he is still the speaker of the House, as his supporters were chanting solidarity songs for the Agege I Constituency lawmaker.
According to Hon Obasa, I have never been impeachment or removal is democratic and constitutional but in doing that, you must follow the due process. I am not against that. If I do that, then I am not democratic.
The lawmaker representing Apapa constituency, Hon Mojisola Meranda had replaced Hon Mudashiru Obasa as the Speaker of the Assembly after the Obasa was accused of impropriety.
