Fresh facts have shown that the security details of the Lagos State House of Assembly Speaker, Meranda Mojisola, were withdrawn due to a lack of valid approval.
Mojisola was not the only one affected. Several VIPs in Lagos who had enjoyed security protection over the years without the police’s approval had the operatives withdrawn.
Sources told our correspondent that the withdrawal of Meranda’s security details had nothing to do with the political tussles in the State House of Assembly, as the police have maintained neutrality throughout.
What happened is that the new Commissioner of Police (CP) Olohundare Moshood Jimoh, as part of his efforts to instill professionalism and due process, sent a directive that all policemen operatives of the command on VIP protection duties without due approval should be withdrawn immediately.
“There are some traditional rulers in the state who have had police personnel guarding them for almost 20 years without approval. It was not just about the Speaker.
