Drama as suspended Lagos Assembly clerk attempts to resume office

The Lagos State House of Assembly has condemned the unauthorised and forceful entry of the suspended Clerk, Mr. Olalekan Onafeko, into the Assembly premises following the announcement of his suspension on the floor of the House by a two-thirds majority of the members.

According to the Chief Security Officer, Kushoro Idowu, Onafeko arrived with unknown men and blocked the Assembly staff gate with his car.

He later proceeded to the Clerk’s office with the intent to break in.

This act of defiance constitutes a clear disregard for legislative protocols and security regulations.

The leadership of the House views this action as an affront to the integrity of the institution and will take all necessary steps to uphold discipline and order within its premises.

Olalekan Onafeko has filed a suit against the Assembly, the Acting Clerk, the State Government, and others in court.

He should, therefore, focus on the legal process instead of disrupting activities in the Assembly.

Hence, the appropriate authorities have been duly informed, and necessary measures are being taken to prevent any further breach of the Assembly’s security and sanctity.
