Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Lasbat Mojisola Meranda, has dismissed claims by Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Moshood Jimoh, that her security detail has been fully restored.

Speaking to journalists after a court hearing regarding a case filed by former Speaker, Hon. Mudashiru Obasa—which has been adjourned to March 7—Meranda clarified that she still lacks adequate security.

“I have my people with me and God is with me,” she stated. “At the moment, I have only three or four policemen, whereas my normal security detail includes 12 policemen, four DSS officers, and two anti-bomb experts. As of this morning, I still don’t have them.”

Addressing Obasa’s controversial presence at the Assembly the previous day, Meranda acknowledged his right to visit but condemned his actions. “He is still a member of the House, so he has every right to come. But invading and breaking into my office? That is a serious issue.”

She also criticized the plenary session conducted by Obasa, describing it as a “show of shame.” “In our job, we require a quorum. If you are sitting with just three or four members, that is nothing more than theatrics.”

On whether disciplinary action would be taken against Obasa, she remarked, “When we get to that bridge, we will cross it.”

Meanwhile, the Assembly premises remained heavily guarded by policemen, civil defense personnel, and supporters of Obasa.
