In a statement issued and signed by Ogundipe Olukayode after their appearance at the Lagos Command of the Department of State Services, DSS, in Shangisha, Magodo, Lagos, the lawmakers stressed that the decision adhered strictly to the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Powers and Privileges Act.

“The Lagos State House of Assembly, as an independent arm of government, exercised its constitutional duty in the best interest of the people of Lagos.

They also commended the DSS for its professionalism and for ensuring a smooth and respectful engagement.

 

Meanwhile, all invited and detained lawmakers have since been released.

 

Reiterating their commitment to legislative duties, the Assembly called on all stakeholders, including the executive and the public, to respect the sanctity of legislative processes and avoid undue interference.
