A lawmaker in the Lagos State House of Assembly, Hon. Bolaji Yusuf Ayinla, was alleged to have been beaten up yesterday by the fiance of Ayo, a legislative staff of the House.

P.M.News gathered this morning that Ayinla, who is the Assembly Committee chairman, House Services, was beaten up at the Assembly’s car park when he challenged a man who parked at a spot reserved for legislators.

A reliable source told P.M.News that the lawmaker had asked why the man parked at a section of the park reserved for lawmakers.

When Ayinla challenged the visitor, the visitor was said to have politely told the lawmaker to learn to address people with courtesy, an action that infuriated Ayinla, who reportedly slapped the visitor.

An eyewitness said the visitor retaliated and this resulted in a fight between the visitor and the lawmaker who represents Mushin II Constituency.

The visitor was alleged to have overpowered Ayinla and beaten him mercilessly.

P.M.News learnt that on learning that the visitor is a fiance of a legislative staff, Ayinla said he would report the matter to the Head of Service (HOS), Mr. Yakubu Balogun for appropriate action.

It took the intervention of the Clerk of the House, to bring things to normalcy.

The visitor was asked to apologise to the lawmaker for assaulting him.

When P.M.News spoke with Ayinka this morning about the incident, he denied it and added: “I am a gentleman. I don’t fight.”

I hope the staff will not suffer for the sins of her husband oooooooo

A legislator getting into a public show of shame because he thinks he has enough 'power'/clout to be rude to others.
