The Department of State Services (DSS) has arrested three persons for allegedly attacking its officers during the crisis in the Lagos State House of Assembly on February 17.
Recall that the leadership of the crisis-hit House had invited the DSS to secure the assembly complex in anticipation that trouble would ensue in the event that ousted Speaker, Mudasiru Ajayi Obasa turned up at work as it was being rumoured after his removal on January 13.
However the arrangement went awry as the DSS officers stationed at the Complex were subjected to jeers and boos by Assembly workers.
Further more, the secret police presence outraged the public with widespread views that it was a plot to restore Obasa as Speaker.
A new revelation said three staff members of the House have been arrested in connection with alleged assault on officials of the DSS.
“After extensive analysis of CCTV footage, we were able to clearly identify three of the suspects.
“The suspects, Ibrahim Olanrewaju Abdulkareem, a photographer and two others attached to the Assembly’s Sergeant-at-Arms, Adetu Adekunle Samsudeen and Adetola Oluwatosin Fatimoh, a lady, were consequently tracked and arrested during the week in different parts of Lagos.
“The trio have since confessed to the crime and will soon be charged to court,” a DSS official familiar with the development stated.
