In the wake of the ongoing political crisis surrounding the leadership of the Lagos State House of Assembly, the security details of the Elegushi of Ikate-Elegushi Kingdom, Oba Alayeluwa Saheed Ademola Elegushi, have reportedly been withdrawn.
The withdrawal of the monarch’s security aides may not be unconnected to the recent impeachment of Mudashiru Obasa as the Speaker of the state assembly.
On Thursday, weeks after being removed from office over allegations of gross misconduct and abuse of power, Obasa returned as Speaker.
His deputy, Mojisola Meranda, had been sworn in as Speaker following his impeachment on January 13, 2025.
The political crisis deepened as security aides attached to Meranda were withdrawn on Thursday, facilitating Obasa’s return to office.
Obasa, accompanied by security personnel, re-entered the assembly complex and declared himself the legitimate leader of the parliament.
Earlier, a source told THE WHISTLER that security personnel assigned to the Oniru of Iruland, had also been recalled.
