A mild drama unfolded on Friday at the Lagos State court when two lawyers claimed to represent the Lagos State House of Assembly during the hearing of a suit filed by Mudashiru Ajayi Obasa, challenging his removal as Speaker.
Obasa filed the suit (ID/9047GCM/2025) before Justice Yetunde Pinheiro, contesting the constitutionality of the Lagos State House of Assembly’s sitting and proceedings during a recess, which occurred without the Speaker reconvening the House or delegating authority. Obasa’s lawyer, Chief Afolabi Fashanu, SAN, is representing him in the case.
