By Political crises have erupted in Lagos and Osun states over control of the state assembly and local government systems, leading to heightened tension and security interventions.
In Lagos, the crisis escalated following the removal of former Speaker Mudashiru Obasa, with security operatives from the Department of State Services (DSS) sealing off key offices, including those of Speaker Mojisola Meranda, her deputy, and the Clerk of the House.
The unexpected security presence caused panic within the Assembly complex, disrupting normal legislative activities and forcing lawmakers to hold a hurried plenary session under tight security.
Meanwhile, in Osun State, clashes between rival political supporters over local government administration have led to violent confrontations, raising concerns about stability in the region.
The unrest in both states highlights growing political tensions, with analysts warning of potential wider implications for governance and democracy.
As the situation unfolds, stakeholders are calling for urgent dialogue to prevent further escalation and restore normalcy in both states.
