Sacked Chairman of the Lagos State House of Assembly Services Commission (LAHASCOM), Mr Olawale Mogaji, has said he would approach the court to challenge his removal from office.
The Lagos State House of Assembly, on Thursday, in a voice vote at the plenary session, sacked Mogaji as the Chairman of the commission.
Mogaji, in a statement in Lagos, argued that due process was not followed by the House in the termination of his appointment.
“I heard through the news that the Speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly sacked me as Chairman of the Lagos State House of Assembly Services Commission at the plenary today.
“It is very sad that our democracy has been bastardised with the conduct of those who are supposed to ensure the rule of law and sanctity of justice.
“The speaker without recourse to the Service rules has been operating the commission like a unit of the Assembly.
“Recently, he appointed Mr Olalekan Onafeko on GL-15 as Clerk of the House. To be appointed as a Clerk, you must be a full Director on GL-17.
“Also, today, he appointed another woman, Mrs Raulat Latona on GL-15 to be the Secretary of the Commission. You must also be a full Director on GL-17,” he said.
Mogaji said he would remain steadfast and allow the law to take its course to protect his integrity.
