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Speaker, Lago State House of Assembly Mojisola Meranda, along with those safeguarding the Assembly complex, have been withdrawn with immediate effect.

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

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