Three persons involved in the fracas at the Lagos House of Assembly Monday are in the net accussed of assaulting officers of the Department of State Services, DSS.
Credible News reports that the DSS and other security agencies were invited early in the week to the Lagos State House of Assembly upon fears that Mudashiru Obasa, who was removed as Speaker, would be reinstated.
According to security sources, lawmakers had mobilized supporters to the Assembly complex, and that they attacked some DSS officers who were invited by the Assembly leadership to secure the facility.
DSS source said “after extensive analysis of CCTV footage, we were able to clearly identify three of the suspects”.
The suspects, Ibrahim Olanrewaju Abdulkareem, a photographer and two others attached to the Assembly’s Seargent at Arms, Adetu Adekunle Samsudeen and Adetola Oluwatosin Fatimoh, were consequently tracked and arrested during the week in different parts of Lagos.
The trio have since confessed to the crime and will soon be charged to court, added the source.
The Lagos State House Assembly had in a memo dated 14 February, 2025 and addressed to the DSS Director and Heads of other Security Agencies in Lagos State, stated there were credible information that Obasa had planned to forcefully reinstate himself.
The Assembly management, through the Clerk, clearly stated that the development posed “a potential security threat” to it and its members.
Those arrested will be charged to court soon.
