A security breach at the Lagos State House of Assembly on February 17, 2025, resulted in the suspension of plenary sessions. The Department of State Services (DSS) reportedly sealed the offices of Speaker Mojisola Meranda and her deputy, causing tensions among lawmakers. This incident is connected to the removal of former Speaker Mudashiru Obasa and concerns about a potential forceful reinstatement. The Lagos Assembly Clerk mentioned that the DSS was called in due to credible threats, but others, including Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour, criticized the actions of the DSS. In light of the breach, lawmakers expressed their confidence in Speaker Mojisola Meranda and initiated an investigation into the matter. The DSS maintains that their presence was necessary to keep order amid escalating tensions. The situation remains unstable, with the Lagos State House of Assembly suspended until further notice.
