* 2Baba’s night club affected
The Lagos State government has sealed the popular Landmark Event Centre, DNA Night Club, and nine other fun spots for flouting COVID-19 regulations.
The other nine spots sealed by the government through the Lagos State Safety Commission are Lekki Waterside, Buzz Bar, Silverfox, Cocoon, Westend Nightclub, Rumours, The Wave Beach club among others.
The operations were led by the Director-General, Lagos State Safety Commission, Lanre Mojola.
The closure of the outfits came days after the state governor, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, rolled out new COVID-19 protocols.
During the earlier monitoring and enforcement drive which began last week, other facilities such as Cubana Ikeja GRA, The Corner Lekki, 355 Restaurant and Night Club, Victoria Island amongst others were sealed by the commission.

Announcing the development on Twitter, the Chief Press Secretary to the governor, Mr. Gbenga Akosile, said the Lagos State Safety Commission has been carrying out routine enforcement and monitoring activities throughout the holiday season to monitor compliance with the Governments directive on the COVID19 pandemic.
He also said the commission would soon commence legal action against the affected businesses for flouting COVID-19 regulations.
Mojola, during the routine enforcement and monitoring exercise, however, warned that any establishment that broke the government’s seal and continues its operations will be prosecuted once documentation has been properly processed.
He also maintained that mass gatherings at restaurants, bars, cafes, and public places without observing necessary COVID-19 safety guidelines would increase the spread of the virus.
