Supporters of impeached Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa gathered outside his house in Agege on Monday as investigators prepared to file corruption charges against him.

Obasa, who is currently outside the country, was impeached on Monday for gross misconduct and abuse of office. He has been accused of spending a staggering N17 billion on a gate to the assembly complex.

Obasa has been replaced by Mojisola Miranda from Apapa 1 constituency.

When our correspondent visited Obasa's residence in Agege shortly after he was impeached, the atmosphere was tense with many of his supporters looking despondent.

Many of them looked shell-shocked – unable to comprehend that the man they believed was untouchable has been impeached

Some of his supporters have been arrested and detained by security agents inside the Lagos State House of Assembly.
The individuals, who are believed to be members of the All Progressives Congress (APC) from various constituencies across Lagos State, had gathered at the Assembly complex purportedly to protest the impeachment of Obasa.

It was gathered from sources that the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has indicated interest to prosecute Obasa.

Recall that in December 2024, an anti-corruption group petitioned the EFCC to probe the assembly over the N17 billion gate project. The group also accused Obasa and the clerk of the House, Onafeko Biliamin, of mishandling constituency intervention funds and projects.

Gathered to do what exactly now?

I thought as much . I knew he would be placed on some kind of house arrest

I never knew a speaker can be impeached in his absence.
By what are the supporters gathering there for? Is it that the youths are now fully in support of corruption? Why supporting their oppressor?

Power is indeed transient.

17 billion nair for gate.

Senseless gathering.
N17 billion on a gate.
My concerns is that the criminal will get away with it and the clueless EFCC cannot do anything.
The worst EFCC will do is to grant him an administrative bail the same thing they did to Okowa.
If corrupt politician's start getting conviction to serve jail term, all this nonsense and senseless looting will stop.

See the kind of lootocracy instituted in Lagos which zombies defend with tribal bigotry
Just imagine how much of that kind of 17bn gates have occurred over the years
This is only being exposed because the looter fell out of favour with the powers

What?! Nothing without end! This guy later fall? Wow!
