Club Goers Thrown Out As Lagos Govt Shuts Popular Fun Spot, Cubana
Security operatives have sealed off Cubana nightclub, Ikeja GRA, and other facilities over failure to adhere to COVID-19 guidelines.
Both the Lagos State Safety Commission and Lagos State Police Command shut down the nightclub and other facilities early Sunday morning.
In a video that surfaced online, the police led by the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, sent the club-goers out of the Cubana building before shutting the facility.
Gboyega Akosile, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, confirmed the development.
“Lagos State Commissioner of @PoliceNG CP Odumosu personally led a team that dispersed club attendees before shutting down Cubana, Ikeja GRA for failing to comply with #COVID19 guidelines,” he tweeted.
Senior Special Assistant to the Governor of Lagos State on New Media, Gawat Jubril, added, “The Lagos State Safety Commission just sealed CUBANA Ikeja and other facilities for non-compliance to the State Government COVID-19 protocols.”
This is coming about 48 hours after the Lagos State Governor, Mr Babajide Sanwo-Olu, banned carnivals, concerts, and street parties until further notice, following the increase in coronavirus cases in the state.
Sanwo-Olu, in a statement on Friday, also returned the restriction that in places of worship in the state, no gathering must exceed 50 per cent of the maximum capacity of the venue.
