On Thursday, the ousted speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa’s many supporters, stormed the assembly complex.
In videos and pictures circulating on social media, the supporters were seen with placards as they chorused songs in support of Obasa at the entrance of the assembly complex.
Obasa had earlier stormed the assembly complex in company of some security officials, and entered the Speaker’s Office around 12 noon on Thursday.
The development followed the withdrawal of the security aides of the Speaker, Mojisola Meranda.
The Chief Press Secretary to Meranda, Segun Ajiboye, confirmed the development in a short message on Thursday, accusing Obasa and his team of allegedly breaking into the office.
