The Lagos State Government, on Saturday and Sunday, sealed
11 facilities, including event centres, lounges and nightclubs, among others,
for contravening COVID-19 directives.
The Director-General of the Lagos State Safety Commission
(LSC) Mr. Lanre Mojola, made this disclosure after the sealing exercise in
Lagos on Sunday.
Mojola said though the affected event centers originally
informed the agency of their intention to organise parties and events, they
failed to meet the expectations of the agency on complying with COVID-19
protocols.
According to him, the number of persons approved for the
events centres was outnumbered with what the officials met on the ground when
they visited the places at the weekend.
He said that those facilities were sealed for non-compliance
with COVID -19 Health Protection Regulations of the State and Federal
Government.
Mojola, who was represented at the sealing of the property
by Dr Wale Adeboje, the Events Safety Administrator of LSC, maintained that the
enforcement exercise saw event centres, bars and lounges sealed between
Saturday and Sunday.
The event centres, bars and lounges sealed between Saturday
and Sunday include UBC Club, VGC, Sapearz Lounge, Awolowo road, Ikoyi, Bravo
event centre, Ogba, Ronite Event Centre, Iju Road, Agege.
“Other sealed centres are All Season Event Centre, Ipaja,
OlaideAdeoluwa Memorial Hall, Carabana Lounge/Bar Isolo, Ajao Estate.
“DNA Victoria Island, Twist Lounge Kofo Abayomi Victoria
Island, Carlsbad Lounge Adeniyi Jones Ikeja and Darts Event Centre, Grammar
School, Ifako Ijaiye, Lagos also contravened the COVID-19 protocols.
“The facilities were sealed for non compliance with the
Event Safety Clearance that was issued to them by the commission.
“The commission will continue to monitor and enforce
compliance across the state while warning that all the COVID-19 violators and
perpetrators will be summoned to the commission’s office in Alausa for further
directives on what to do as far as their negligence and non-compliance is
concerned,” Mojola said.
The LSC boss said that to the commission’s surprise, they
had 150 guests inside and more than 200 guests outside without following the
use of face masks and hand sanitisers.
Mojola said the practice was absolutely out of place as far
as safety guidelines were concerned, hence the sealing of their facilities.
He, however, urged Lagos residents to protect themselves and
others by observing laid down safety guidelines and regulations as stipulated
by Lagos state and the Federal Government.
