Just In: New Lagos CP Withdraws Security Escorts for Speaker Mojisola Meranda
In a shocking turn of events, the newly appointed Commissioner of Police in Lagos State Jimoh Moshood has withdrawn all police escorts assigned to the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Rt. Hon. Mojisola Meranda, as well as security personnel guarding the Assembly complex.
The sudden withdrawal has left both the Speaker and the legislative premises vulnerable, raising concerns about her safety and the security of the state’s legislative arm.
Confirming the development, the Speaker’s Special Adviser on Information, Mr. Victor Ganzallo, expressed deep concern over the abrupt action.
“As we speak, all security has been withdrawn from the Speaker, and she is now on her own,” Ganzallo stated, warning that she is now “vulnerable and open to attack.”
The reason behind the security withdrawal remains unclear, with no official statement from the Lagos State Police Command or the state government addressing the situation.
This development comes amid ongoing political tensions within the Lagos Assembly following the impeachment of former Speaker Mudashiru Obasa. Analysts speculate that the security withdrawal may be linked to the unresolved crisis within the House.
The situation has sparked concerns over the safety of government officials and the stability of governance in Lagos State. Stakeholders are calling for an urgent resolution to prevent any potential security breaches.
More details to follow as the situation unfolds.
