The invasion of the Lagos State House of Assembly on Monday by security operatives has taken a new twist.

A letter has emerged disclosing that the House had requested the Department of State Services, DSS, to strengthen security around the Assembly complex ahead of February 18, 2025.

The letter cited reports that the impeached Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, planned to return to the position.


DAILY POST reported that the operatives of the DSS, and the Nigeria Police, on Monday, took over the Lagos State House of Assembly.

The development followed a leadership crisis in the State Assembly.

The acting Clerk of the House, in the letter dated February 14, 2025, and signed by Abubakar Ottun, warned that Obasa’s attempt to resume office could pose a security threat to the Assembly and its members.

The House, therefore, urged the DSS to deploy operatives from February 16 to enforce strict access control within and around the premises.

“I wish to bring to your attention a pressing matter that requires immediate action.

“The impeached Speaker of Lagos State House of Assembly plans to resume office on the 18th of February, 2025 as the speaker, posing a potential security threat to the Assembly and its members.

“In light of this situation, we kindly request that you take necessary measures to fortify the security of the Assembly premises with effect from Sunday 16th February, 2025 by increasing the presence of your Men and as well observe a strict access control within and outside the Assembly premises till further notice.”
