Abiodun Tobun Representing Epe constituency on, Hon Gbolahan Yishawu representing Eti-Osa constituency two, Hon Kehinde Joseph representing Alimosho constituency two, Hon. Solomon Bonu representing Badagry constituency one and some others.
After six hours of questioning, 30 members who visited the DSS office have been released.
The lawmakers refused to comment after been released.
The invitation is related to the removal of the former Speaker, Mudashiru Obasa, who was removed on January 13 over allegations of financial misconduct, and other issues.
The embattled former Speaker wrote a petition to the DSS concerning the process of his removal.
The lawmakers said they will react to the issue at the appropriate time.
