BREAKING: Obasa storms Lagos assembly, joins lawmakers’ meeting outside chamber with Meranda
Embattled ousted Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, on Monday stormed the state House of Assembly.
Obasa joined some lawmakers in a meeting held outside the chamber of the Assembly.
Mojisola Meranda, incumbent Speaker of the assembly, attended the meeting.
The meeting subsequently broke into two groups of at least 10 lawmakers each.
Recall that crisis started when lawmakers impeached Obasa while he was away in the United States, US, in January.
Upon his return, Obasa described his removal as unconstitutional because it never followed due process.
However, Obasa stormed the assembly last week and forcefully broke into the office the Speaker.
He also presided over plenary while declaring that he was never removed as Speaker.

Mob attacks police officer in Jos over seized hard drugs
A police officer sustained serious injuries after being attacked by a mob while transporting recovered hard drugs to the station in Jos North Local Government Area of Plateau State.
The incident was contained in a post by security analyst, Zagazola Makama on his official X handle on Monday.
According to the report, the attack occurred in the early hours of Saturday at Polo Roundabout when two officers from the ‘C’ Division of the Nigeria Police Force attempted to arrest a suspect found in possession of hard drugs.
“The suspect, upon sighting the officers, abandoned a bag containing hard drugs and other substances suspected to be Indian hemp before fleeing into the Jenta Adamu area of Jos North LGA,” Makama wrote.
Shortly after, the suspect reportedly returned with a group of motorcycle riders and attacked the officers, who were already on their way to the station with the recovered drugs.
During the assault, one of the officers, identified as Inspector Ikale Muhammed, sustained severe injuries and was immediately rushed to Bingham University Teaching Hospital for medical attention.
A Bajaj Boxer motorcycle was recovered at the scene, while police reinforcements were deployed to restore order and track down the attackers.
