Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mojisola Meranda, is currently presiding over plenary despite the earlier invasion by officials of the Department of State Services (DSS), who had sealed the chamber and her office on Monday morning.
The DSS officials, who were sighted inside the chamber, clashed physically with legislative workers at the exit door, leading to pandemonium.
According to Punch, lawmakers forced their way into the chamber around 12:30 p.m., aided by assembly workers who showed solidarity and overpowered the DSS officials.
