The Lagos State Government has shutdown Landmark Event
Centre and 11 other facilities for violating COVID-19 protocols.
Director-General, Lagos State Safety Commission, Lanre
Mojola led the enforcement operation.
The commission had embarked on routine enforcement and
monitoring activities to enforce compliance with the government’s directive on
COVID-19 pandemic, especially as it concerns social and recreational centers.
Some other facilities sealed are DNA Night Club, Buzz Bar,
Silverfox, Cocoon, Westend Nightclub, Rumours, Lekki Waterside, Landmark Event
Centre and The Wave Beach club.
According to Mojola, recalcitrant establishments that broke
the government’s seal and continued partying would be charged to court once
documentation had been properly processed.
He said the government was committed to curbing the spread
of the virus and would leave nothing to chance to achieve this mandate.
During an earlier monitoring and enforcement drive carried
out over the weekend starting the 19th of December, 2020 other facilities such
as Cubana Ikeja GRA, The Corner Lekki, 355 Restaurant and Night Club , Victoria
Island, among others were sealed.
Mojola said mass gatherings at restaurants, bars, cafes and
public places without observing necessary safety guidelines would increase the
spread of the virus.
He, therefore, urged the public to maintain and observe all
the necessary safety precautions as they celebrate during Yuletide period.
Mojola maintained that people must take responsibility and
urged all and sundry to co-operate with the government to effectively curtail
the virus.
