The Lagos State House of Assembly has ramped up security measures ahead of the anticipated return of Mudashiru Obasa, the impeached Speaker, who has vowed to reclaim his position.In a notice issued on Sunday, January 26, Omotayo Adekemi, the acting clerk, directed all staff and legislative aides to present valid identity cards to access the premises.

“Please remember that entry will be denied to anyone without a valid Identity Card. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding in this matter,” Adekemi stated.

Obasa, impeached during his trip to the United States and replaced by Deputy Speaker Mojisola Meranda, has challenged the legality of his removal.
