Tension at Lagos Assembly as security operatives take over complex

The Lagos State House of Assembly witnessed heightened tension on Monday morning as security operatives took control of the assembly complex, delaying the scheduled plenary session.

Reports indicate that at least 10 police vans are stationed at the assembly gate, while lawmakers remain gathered outside the chamber, unable to proceed with legislative activities.

Sources revealed that officials from the Department of State Services (DSS) have sealed the office of Speaker Mojisola Meranda, further fueling speculation about the unfolding situation.

Meanwhile, a crowd of onlookers has gathered outside the assembly, closely monitoring developments as security personnel, including those attached to the Speaker, maintain a strong presence.
