Breaking News: Lagos CP, State Director DSS Allegedly Removed Over Lagos Assembly Crisis

In a dramatic turn of events, the Lagos State Commissioner of Police (CP) and the State Director of the Department of State Services (DSS) have been removed from their positions following the escalating crisis at the Lagos State House of Assembly. The decision comes amid growing tensions and security concerns surrounding the leadership dispute that has gripped the legislative body.

The crisis began on January 13, 2025, when former Speaker Mudashiru Obasa was impeached by 32 out of 40 lawmakers while he was on a trip to the United States. His removal, described as a “coup” by some, has since sparked a legal and political battle, with Obasa challenging the legality of his impeachment in court.

The situation escalated on February 17, 2025, when heavily armed DSS operatives and police officers stormed the Lagos Assembly complex, sealing the offices of the current Speaker, Mojisola Meranda, her deputy, and the Clerk of the House. The security clampdown disrupted legislative activities and led to clashes between DSS officials and legislative workers.

The removal of the Lagos CP and DSS Director is seen as a direct response to the handling of the crisis, which has drawn widespread criticism from lawmakers, civil society groups, and the public. Critics have accused security agencies of overstepping their mandate and interfering in legislative affairs, further complicating the already volatile situation.

Meanwhile, the Lagos Assembly remains divided, with some lawmakers backing Obasa’s reinstatement while others support Speaker Meranda. The Governance Advisory Council (GAC), the apex decision-making body of the All Progressives Congress (APC) in Lagos, is also reportedly split over the issue.

As the crisis deepens, stakeholders are calling for a swift resolution to restore normalcy and uphold the principles of democracy. The removal of the top security officials signals a significant shift in the government’s approach to the crisis, but it remains to be seen whether this will pave the way for a peaceful resolution.

Stay tuned for further updates on this developing story.
