Lagos State Assembly Speaker, Obasa Mudashiru
The Department of State Services, on Thursday, invited two lawmakers from the Lagos State House of Assembly over their alleged involvement in the speakership crisis rocking the Assembly.
The invitation follows the crisis surrounding the removal of former Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, on January 13.
It was gathered that the lawmakers, Lanre Afinni and Sylvester Ogunkelu, are being questioned by the DSS in the Magodo area of the state.
Details of their invitation are still sketchy but sources told PUNCH Online that other lawmakers followed the two parliamentarians to the DSS office in Lagos in a show of solidarity.
A source in the DSS who is not officially authorised to speak, said, “They were just invited for questioning.”
Obasa was removed by a majority of the lawmakers on January 13, 2025, following allegations of misconduct and financial misappropriations.
He was replaced by the former deputy speaker of the House, Mojisola Meranda.
