There was growing tension at the Lagos State House of Assembly on Monday as legislative workers protested against alleged plans to remove Mojisola Meranda as Speaker.
The workers clashed with operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS), who had stormed the assembly in the early hours, sealing off Meranda’s office, alongside that of her deputy and the clerk.
Papers News recall that armed security personnel had taken over the complex at Alausa, Ikeja, leading to palpable tension among lawmakers and workers.
