Obasa’s removal: Group demands release of detained Lagos Lawmakers

A socio-political group, United Action for Democracy has called for the immediate release of several lawmakers detained by the Department of State Services (DSS) in Lagos following the removal of former Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Mudashiru Obasa.

The group in a statement issued on Thursday by its Spokesman, Comrade Muftau Habeeb, demanded the release of Hon. Abiodun Tobun (Epe 1), Hon. Gbolahan Yishawu (Eti-Osa 2), Hon. Femi Saheed (Kosofe 2), Hon. Kehinde Joseph, and others, insisting that their detention was unwarranted.

The development follows a press conference by Obasa, in which he argued that his removal was unconstitutional. Meanwhile, on Monday, the lawmakers reaffirmed Rt. Hon. Mojisola Meranda as the Speaker of the Assembly.

The group urged relevant authorities to act swiftly and ensure the detained lawmakers regain their freedom without further delay.
