'My family was locked up during impeachment’, Obasa breaks silence

Mudashiru Obasa, the former speaker of Lagos House of Assembly, on Saturday, broke silence about his removal.

He spoke during a welcome rally at his Joel Ogunnaike GRA residence, Ikeja, describing the allegations against him fictitious and unsubstantiated.

Obasa said he was not afraid of removal but such should be done within the ambit of the law.

He said his removal was done while away with alleged connivance of the Police.

Obasa said the Commissioner of Police in the State led security agenuts to invade the Assembly ahead of the removal.
