The situation at the Lagos State House of Assembly is no longer one of ‘siddon-look’, as Mudashiru Obasa, the impeached Speaker stormed the speaker’s office on Thursday accompanied by heavily armed police men and declared himself back to office.

Sequel to this, the security details earlier assigned to the current Speaker, Mojisola Lasbat Meranda, were withdrawn suddenly, without notice.
Informed sources said the withdrawal of Meranda’s security details was allegedly ordered by the Inspector General of Police, leaving her without official protection and protocol that the office demands.
The unfolding saga, which many call ‘an embarrassment to democracy’, has sparked concerns that the government is complicit, else it has the power to rein in the actors and interests fanning the embers of this assembly fires.
Many political analysts are already agreed that this is a leadership crisis snowballing before everybody’s eyes and it has a created a legislative gap, thereby depriving Lagos state of a functioning key arm of the government.
An aide to the Speaker Meranda disclosed that both police officers and operatives from the Department of State Services (DSS) were removed early Thursday morning, with no replacements provided.
The situation worsened a day earlier when Olalekan Onafeko, the suspended Clerk of the House, attempted to return to his office.

He arrived at the Assembly complex around 9 a.m., accompanied by his lawyer, two security personnel, and unidentified DSS operatives.
Security officials, however, refused him entry, citing an ongoing court case.
Witnesses reported that Assembly staff mocked and jeered at him as he was escorted out.
The Lagos State House of Assembly management, through a statement signed by Chief Security Officer Kushoro Idowu, condemned the incident.
The crisis began on January 13, when Obasa was removed from his position by 32 out of 40 Assembly members.
Mojisola Meranda was then elected as the new Speaker.

Efforts by President Bola Tinubu, the Governance Advisory Council (GAC), Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, and the All Progressives Congress (APC) to settle the dispute have not succeeded.
