The impeached Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, made a dramatic appearance at the assembly complex on Thursday, shortly after security details assigned to the incumbent Speaker, Mojisola Meranda, were withdrawn.

Obasa arrived at the complex around midday and proceeded directly to the Speaker’s office, raising speculations about a potential political standoff. His unexpected return comes amid ongoing tensions within the Lagos State legislature following his removal from office.

The unfolding events signal a power tussle within the state’s legislative leadership, with further developments expected in the coming hours.
