Heavy security presence surrounded the Lagos State House of Assembly on Monday.
Officials of the Department of State Services (DSS), Nigeria Police Force, and Lagos State Task Force were seen stationed at the Assembly complex main gate to ensure adequate security.
The DSS operatives locked up the offices of Speaker Mojisola Meranda, her deputy, and the clerk.
The incident follows the recent removal of former Speaker Mudashiru Obasa, who was ousted while he was in the United States.
His removal, backed by 32 out of 40 lawmakers on January 13, 2025, has been described as controversial.
In reaction, Obasa had filed a lawsuit at the Lagos State High Court, challenging the legitimacy of his impeachment and requesting an urgent hearing.
