There is currently a heavy security presence at the Lagos State House of Assembly due to the ongoing leadership crisis.
Security officials from the Department of State Services (DSS), Nigeria Police Force (NPF), and Rapid Response Squad (RRS) Rocket are manning the entrance, checking vehicles and verifying staff identification cards.
The Lagos Assembly has called for the release of three staff members arrested by security operatives.
Journalists are currently barred from entering the premises, with DSS officials citing lack of authorization.
The leadership crisis has led to a tense atmosphere, with staff working from home amid the uncertainty.
The situation is being closely monitored, with many calling for a peaceful resolution.
The Assembly’s gates were heavily guarded, with security personnel scrutinizing everyone seeking to enter the premises.
Vehicles were also subjected to thorough checks before being allowed to enter.
The security presence has caused a slow movement of traffic around the Assembly complex.
The leadership crisis began when some lawmakers attempted to impeach the Speaker, which led to a rift among the lawmakers.
The Assembly has been unable to sit since the crisis began.
