JUST IN: Security Operatives Take Over Lagos Assembly Ahead Of Emergency Plenary
The Lagos State House of Assembly complex in Alausa, Ikeja, has been placed under heavy security as lawmakers convene an emergency plenary session amid intense political tension.
Armed security personnel, including operatives of the Rapid Response Squad (RRS) and officers from the Lagos State Police Command, have cordoned off the premises, subjecting all visitors, including staff, to thorough searches before granting access.
The heightened security comes as Speaker Mojisola Meranda is expected to tender her resignation to allow for a leadership change in line with a zoning arrangement favoring a candidate from the West zone.

A staff member of the Assembly, speaking on condition of anonymity, described the situation as tense.
“The atmosphere in the Assembly this morning is very tensed with heavy security around the Assembly. It was difficult for the staff to gain access to the Assembly. It took me over an hour before I was allowed into the premises,” the source said.
The leadership crisis has been the subject of high-level political negotiations in recent weeks, culminating in an intervention by President Bola Tinubu and top leaders of the All Progressives Congress (APC).
Following a series of meetings, it was agreed that former Speaker Mudashiru Obasa would step down, with his removal framed as a resignation to provide him with a soft landing.
Key figures involved in the resolution include former APC National Chairman Bisi Akande, former Ogun State Governor Olusegun Osoba, Minister of Solid Minerals Dele Alake, and a former Lagos commissioner.
