The Ogun State House of Assembly expressed worry on Thursday regarding the continued imprisonment of Damilare Bello, its member representing Sagamu Constituency I, by the Department of State Services.

Bello was apprehended by the DSS on September 20 in connection with cult killings in Sagamu.

On Thursday, the Assembly passed a resolution urging the release of the arrested politician so that his constituents are not left without representation.

The resolution followed a motion by the Majority Leader, Yusuf Sheriff, seconded by the Minority Leader, Lukman Adeleye and supported by other lawmakers through a voice vote at the plenary presided over by the Speaker, Olakunle Oluomo.

Earlier in their submissions, the lawmakers asked the DSS to release Bello on bail pending the conclusion of their investigation.
