Following violations of environmental and safety rules, the Lagos State Government, on Sunday, sealed Quilox Club, Victoria Island.
The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) in a statement on Twitter said Quilox had not complied with environmental rules.
The government also warned the operators of Sol Beach, the Good beaches, landmark Beaches, and other social centres across the state to ensure that adequate considerations are made towards the safety and wellbeing of their neighbors and citizens of the state during the yuletide.
The agencies had in a joint statement on Saturday warned social centres to ensure that their operations did not affect the safety and well-being of other citizens, threatening to sanction any facility that violated the rule.
The statement was signed by the Director General, Safety Commission, Mr Lanre Mojola, and General Manager, LASEPA, Dr Babatunde Ajayi.
The statement reads: “A joint enforcement operation between the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency and the Lagos State Safety Commission sealed Quilox nightclub over environmental and safety infractions.”
The Lagos State Environment Update, in a tweet via its X handle on Sunday morning, had said, “This is Quilox Club as of today, the 24th of December, 2023. At 7.30 am. When the government takes a final decision on the traffic and environmental nuisances caused by this club, nobody should cry a witch-hunt.”
