Cubana Night Club, which is situated in the Ikeja area of the state, has been sealed off.
In an operation led by the State Commissioner of Police, Hakeem Odumosu, security officials dispersed fun-seekers at the nightlife destination, during which the club was shutdown for violating COVID-19 guidelines of the state.
Disclosing this development, Gboyega Akosile, the Chief Press Secretary to Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos, tweeted: “Just in: @followlasg @lagossafety and @PoliceNG Lagos State Command sealed off Cubana night club for disobeying the State’s #COVID19 protocols.”
The closure of Cubana however came barely a day after the Lagos Governor re-introduced COVID-19 restrictions in the state, as the second wave of the infectious disease looms.
“There is an unfortunate public perception that the state has seen the end of the COVID-19 pandemic, which is wrong and dangerous.
“We are getting credible reports that the entertainment industry is planning large gatherings, concerts, street parties, and carnivals, in the spirit of the Yuletide. Night Clubs have also re-opened in reckless disregard of the existing guidelines, and Events Centres are operating with huge gatherings without any regard for public health and safety guidelines.
“This same disregard for Coronavirus guidelines is also being observed with Places of Worship across the State, in both their regular gatherings and the special gatherings organised to commemorate this Season,” the governor said in a statement.
