BREAKING: Obasa storms Lagos assembly, joins lawmakers’ meeting outside chamber with Meranda

written by Folarin Kehinde

Embattled ousted Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, on Monday stormed the state House of Assembly.

Obasa joined some lawmakers in a meeting held outside the chamber of the Assembly.

Mojisola Meranda, incumbent Speaker of the assembly, attended the meeting.

The meeting subsequently broke into two groups of at least 10 lawmakers each.

Recall that crisis started when lawmakers impeached Obasa while he was away in the United States, US, in January.

Upon his return, Obasa described his removal as unconstitutional because it never followed due process.

However, Obasa stormed the assembly last week and forcefully broke into the office the Speaker.

He also presided over plenary while declaring that he was never removed as Speaker.

JUST IN: Obasa arrives Lagos House of Assembly complex amid rumours of reinstatement

written by Folarin Kehinde

Mudashiru Obasa, the impeached former Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, has arrived at the Assembly complex.

The development comes hours after the withdrawal of security details from the current Speaker, Mojisola Meranda, fueling speculation about a possible reinstatement.

Obasa’s arrival is the latest twist in the ongoing leadership crisis at the Assembly.

He was impeached on January 13, 2025, and has since been challenging his removal in court, arguing that the impeachment process was unconstitutional.

Recently, Obasa filed a lawsuit seeking his immediate reinstatement as Speaker, naming Meranda and the Assembly as defendants. Additionally, his security details were restored earlier today.

BREAKING: Lagos Assembly Takes Fresh Action on Speaker Meranda, Shuts Down Plenary

written by Folarin Kehinde

The Lagos State House of Assembly has passed a vote of confidence in Speaker Mojisola Meranda.

The development comes amidst speculation about her possible resignation as leader of the House.

The Assembly have also decided to suspend plenary indefinitely.

The decision came after Oladipo Ajomale, a lawmaker representing Oshodi-Isolo Constituency 2, moved a motion to reaffirm trust in Meranda’s leadership. Speaking during Monday’s session, Ajomale emphasized that Meranda was elected according to the Nigerian Constitution and other relevant laws.

“We have chosen you as our Speaker because we believe in your leadership. It is important to make it clear that this decision was made by elected members of the House,” Ajomale stated.

He then called on his colleagues to publicly affirm their confidence in Meranda by raising their hands and standing in agreement. In a video which has gone viral, all members supported the motion.

Following this vote of confidence, the Assembly announced an indefinite suspension of plenary.

Earlier in the day, heavily armed operatives of the Department of State Services (DSS) and the Nigerian police stormed the Assembly complex. The security forces sealed off the offices of the Speaker, Deputy Speaker, and the Clerk of the House.

The tension follows the recent impeachment of Mudashiru Obasa, the former Speaker. Obasa, who was out of the country at the time of his removal, has since challenged his impeachment in court, claiming it was unlawful.

Lagos Assembly: Security operatives locks out Speaker, Meranda

written by Folarin Kehinde

Operatives of the Department of State Security (DSS) and the police stormed the Lagos State House of Assembly on Monday morning, sealing the offices of Speaker Mojisola Meranda, her deputy, and the clerk of the House.

According to reports, armed security personnel took control of the Assembly complex in Alausa, Ikeja, around 10 a.m., restricting movement and frisking passersby.

Speaker Meranda and her convoy arrived at the premises at approximately 11:15 a.m.

The security operation follows a legal challenge by former Speaker Mudashiru Obasa, who was impeached on January 13, 2025.

Obasa has filed a lawsuit contesting his removal, arguing that the sitting which led to his impeachment was unconstitutional.

In his suit, Obasa contends that the Assembly convened during recess without proper authorization. He is seeking an expedited hearing to determine the legality of the current leadership and prevent a legislative crisis.
