Lagos Assembly Crisis: Obasa denies allegations of arms cache discovery

.

The impeached Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly,  Hon. Mudashiru Obasa, has denied reports linking him to some firearms allegedly uncovered at his office in the Assembly.

In a statement released signed by Obasa on Wednesday, the former Speaker described the report as a “concoction.”

Obasa’s statement was titled Re: “DSS Uncovers Arms Cache In Obasa’s Office Day After Lagos Assembly Drama.”

He said, “The ill-conceived story, apart from being a complete concoction, clearly exposes its author and paymasters as maliciously of low intelligence quotient, only out to malign my hard-earned reputation spanning decades of political leadership and legislative hard work.

“From the foregoing, it is obviously discerning that my traducers are furtively attempting to call a dog a bad name just to hang it.”

“I consider their purported sudden discovery of ‘cache of arms ammunition in the Speaker’s Office as nothing but an afterthought, having sensed the futility of their illegal actions,” Obasa added.
