BREAKING; Police withdraws security personnel attached to Lagos Speaker Meranda

Security personnel attached to Speaker, Lago State House of Assembly Mojisola Meranda, along with those safeguarding the Assembly complex, have been withdrawn with immediate effect.

The withdrawal has left both the Speaker and the legislative building unprotected.

Mr. Victor Ganzallo, the Speaker’s Special Adviser on Information, confirmed the alarming development and voiced serious concerns over the sudden removal of security personnel.

“As of now, all security detail has been removed from the Speaker, and she is left without protection,” Ganzallo revealed.

He cautioned that this leaves the Speaker “vulnerable and exposed to potential threats,” stressing the urgent need for action to address the security gap.

The reason behind the withdrawal remains unknown, with no official statements issued from either the Lagos State Police Command or the state government.
