There was tension inside the chamber of the Lagos State House of Assembly on Monday as officials of the Department of State Services (DSS) confronted legislative workers, leading to pandemonium.
In a video spotted online, the DSS officials, dressed in black jackets and helmets and armed with weapons, engaged in a heated struggle with workers at the chamber’s entrance, disrupting proceedings.
This development followed the early morning takeover of the Assembly premises by security personnel from the DSS and Nigeria Police, who forcefully sealed the offices of Speaker Mojisola Meranda, her deputy, and the clerk of the assembly.
