Apprehended “loyalists” of the impeached Speaker of Lagos House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa sing Tinubu‘s “on your mandate we shall stand“

Supporters of the recently impeached Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, created a scene on Monday afternoon, January 13 

as they were filmed singing President Tinubu‘s supporters anthem “On Your Mandate” while detained in a police van. The 52-year-old lawmaker, representing Agege Constituency I, was removed from office on Monday over allegations of gross misconduct and abuse of power.

Mojisola Meranda, the former deputy speaker, has since been elected as his successor. Following the impeachment, a group of men reportedly loitering near the assembly complex were arrested by the police.

In a viral video, the detained men, speaking through the van’s window shutters, claimed to be members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from Agege Constituency. 

“We came down to the assembly to visit Obasa, and they arrested us,” one man said. \ “A tangible reason has not been given for apprehending us. We are about 20 people from Orile Agege. We are APC youths
