One of the bars sealed in Ajah

The Lagos State Government has sealed various lounges, bars, spas and night clubs across the State for flouting Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu’s order on closure of social clubs in a bid to curb the spread of coronavirus.

The Director General, Lagos Safety Commission, Lanre Mojola disclosed this when he led the Commission’s compliance and enforcement team to Lagos Island, Surulere, Abule -Egba and environs.

He declared that Lagos State has zero tolerance for breach of safety guidelines and protocols.

According to Him, mass gathering of people in social clubs, spas and night clubs during the pandemic negated safety guidelines.
