Since Obasa’s removal on January 13 by 32 members of the House, it had generated political tensions which sparked significant controversy in the Lagos State political landscape.

The Department of State Services (DSS) had on Thursday, January 30, waded over a petition allegedly filed by Obasa concerning his removal as Speaker.

The DSS investigation followed Obasa’s alleged claims that his removal was politically motivated and involved misconduct, abuse of office, and financial mismanagement.

However, after questioning the lawmakers for about six hours, all the detained lawmakers were released late Thursday.
