Mudashiru Obasa, speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, has been impeached by the members of the House.
He was subsequently replaced by his deputy, Hon. Lasbat Meranda, who represents Apapa Constituency 1.
Obasa who is representing Agege State Constituency 1 in the house was removed from his position over allegations of gross misconduct and abuse of office.
He has been accused of spending N17 billion on a gate to the assembly complex, which critics argue is excessive and fraudulent. There have also been allegations of mishandling constituency funds and projects.
Obasa, 52, was first elected Speaker on June 8, 2015, resuming office alongside former one-term governor Akinwunmi Ambode.
