A Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi, Lagos has ordered the remand of three workers of the Lagos State House of Assembly who allegedly assaulted operatives of the Department of State Security Services (DSS).
The three arraigned workers; Ibrahim Olanrewaju, Adetu Adekunle and Fatimoh Adetola were arraigned by the agency.
In a charge, marked FHC/L/273C/2025, dated February 24, 2025 and filed on Tuesday, the DSS accused the trio, along with others still at large, of conspiring to assault officers of the State Security Service at the Lagos Assembly premises upon the invitation of the acting clerk of the House.
Justice Daniel Osiagor ordered their remand in DSS to be able to study the case file.
The agency through its counsel, Mr Michael Bajela alleged that on February 17, the three defendants conspired amongst themselves to commit felony by wilfully misdirecting electronic messages to social media for the sole aim of embarrassing the State Security Service and its officials.
The agency also accused the defendants of cyberstalking, peddling of false information on social media for the purpose of causing a breakdown of law and order and obstructing officers of the agency in the course of discharging their duties.
The offences allegedly committed contravened sections 516 of the Criminal Code Act, Laws of the Federation of Nigeria 2004, as well as sections 27(1)(b), 24(1)(b), 24(c)(i), and 11 of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act, 2015 (as amended), 2024.
