The impeached Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, on Thursday, made a dramatic entrance into the Assembly Complex with a heavily armed security detail.
A viral video circulating online shows Obasa arriving with more than 11 police officers, heading straight to the Speaker’s Office, amid growing reports that security operatives attached to the current Speaker, Mojisola Meranda, had been withdrawn with immediate effect.
Some lawmakers loyal to Speaker Meranda were caught on video mocking Obasa’s arrival, referring to him as an “actor” for the manner in which he stormed the Assembly chamber.
