The leadership of the Lagos State House of Assembly has called on the Director of the Department of State Services (DSS) to immediately release three of its staff members who were arrested and remain in custody.
Reports indicate that the DSS apprehended the three Assembly staff members last Friday for interrogation regarding an incident that took place the previous Monday. During that event, DSS operatives stormed the Assembly premises, claiming they were acting on an invitation.
Addressing lawmakers and the media, Babatunde Ogunlana, Chairman of the Parliamentary Staff Association of Nigeria (PASAN), Lagos Chapter, urged Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, the Director-General of the DSS, the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC), and other relevant authorities to intervene without delay.
Ogunlana underscored the union’s firm stance on the matter, declaring “No Retreat, No Surrender” in their demand for the immediate release of their detained colleagues.
