The Speakership crisis rocking the Lagos State House of Assembly is yet to abate.

Two Lawmakers of the Assembly, Hon. Lanre Afinni and Hon. Sylvester Ogunkelu are currently being detained by the Lagos State Command of the Department of State Services, DSS.

The Two Lawmakers are fingered as the arrow head in the crisis bedeviling the Rt. Hon. Mojisola Meranda- led Assembly.  Sources said they were the architects of the removal of Obasa as Speaker.

It was gathered that the two are, allegedly, facing interrogation in connection with the removal of Mudashiru Obasa as Speaker.

It would be recalled that Obasa was removed as Speaker by the majority of the members on January 13 and replaced with the former Deputy Speaker, Meranda.

The two lawmakers were allegedly detained for breaking into a store in the Assembly where the mace was kept so that the lawmakers could sit to effect the impeachment of the embattled former speaker of the House.

In solidarity with their colleagues, the Deputy Speaker, Hon Mojeed Fatai with some other members of the House were said to have stormed the DSS office to secure their release.

As at the time of filing  this report, the two Lawmakers were yet to be released by the DSS.
