It was also gathered that a notice to staff signed by Omotayo Adekemi on behalf of the Ag. Clerk of the House, Taiwo Ottun said, “Regarding management directives, all staff members and legislative aides must present valid identity cards to access the House premises.”

Ottun added that those without a valid identity card would be denied entry.

According to him, the Lagos State Police Command has pledged to maintain order regardless of how events unfold at the assembly.

“I have not done anything wrong. I have been a lawmaker for over two decades and I am the longest-serving lawmaker in the House,” he stated.
