By Trek Africa Newspaper
The commissioner of police in Lagos command, CP Moshood Jimoh says that the security detail of Rt. Hon. Mojisola Lasbat Meranda, the speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly has been restored.
Speaking at a press briefing on Thursday evening at the Police command headquarters in Ikeja, Jimoh confirmed Speaker Meranda’s security detail was initially withdrawn for audit purposes.
Earlier in the day, the removal of security escorts attached to the Speaker’s office and residence had raised concerns, particularly as security details of ousted Speaker Hon. Mudashiru Obasa were restored. Obasa later stormed the Assembly complex and declared himself Speaker, presiding over a controversial plenary session attended by about four (4) lawmakers.
Addressing journalists, CP Jimoh clarified that four security personnel assigned to Speaker Meranda, who had been withdrawn, were reinstated to ensure her safety and stability within the Assembly. He stated that the initial withdrawal was purely for auditing purposes.
Meanwhile, the leadership tussle continues to generate debate, with Lagosians closely monitoring developments as the state legislature grapples with uncertainty over its leadership structure.
