A Federal High Court in Lagos has ordered the remand of three staff members of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Ibrahim Olanrewaju, Adetu Adekunle, and Fatimoh Adetola, in the custody of the Department of State Security Services (DSS) for allegedly assaulting its officers.
Justice Daniel Osiagiro directed the DSS to hold them in custody pending their arraignment.
The judge stated that he needed to review the case before the defendants could enter their pleas.
The DSS accused the trio, along with others still at large, of conspiring to assault DSS officers while they were performing their official duties without any reasonable excuse.
They were also accused of cyberstalking, recording, and sending false information to social media to cause a breakdown of law and order.
The offenses allegedly committed contravened sections of the Criminal Code Act and the Cybercrimes Act.
The Lagos State House of Assembly leadership has demanded the immediate release of the detained staff members, calling on Governor Babajilla Sanwo-Olu and the Nigeria Labour Congress to intervene.
