Lawmakers at the ongoing sitting presided over by Meranda
The Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mojisola Meranda is currently presiding over plenary at the Lagos State House of Assembly.
The sitting holds amid the invasion of officials of the Department of State Services who had earlier sealed the chamber and office of the Speaker on Monday morning.
The DSS officials who were later sighted inside the chamber were in a physical confrontation with legislative workers at the exit door of the chamber.
The lawmakers had earlier forced their way into the chamber around 12:30 pm amid solidarity support from the assembly workers.
PUNCH Online reports that the workers later overpowered the DSS officials at the door.
Currently, the sitting is ongoing amid uncertainties.
The crisis at the assembly deepens amid a leadership tussle between ousted Speaker Mudashiru Obasa and Meranda.
PUNCH Online reported that the plenary scheduled for Monday morning was yet to commence as security officials took over the assembly complex.
Our correspondent reports that no fewer than 10 police vans are stationed at the assembly gate. (The PUNCH)
