BREAKING: Reason why Lagos closed event centre today

By allcitynews.ng

Kindly share this story:

The real reason why Lagos State Government closed the event centre was because it contravened public safety rules by exposing the participants in that event and environment to great danger and also to checkmate occurrence of similar happening.

It would be recalled that Lagos State Government today, 5 March 2022 sealed Havillah Event Centre, Oniru, where petrol was used as a souvenir at a party.

Allcitynews.ng learnt from reports that the event centre was sealed by officials of the Lagos Safety Commission and the Rapid Response Squad “for Contravening Public Safety Rules”.

Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Mr Gbenga Omotoso, had said today Saturday that the state government would probe the use of petrol as souvenir at a party.

Omotoso said in a statement that the government’s attention had been drawn to a viral video showing kegs of petrol being handed out as souvenirs at an events centre in Lagos.

He said there was no doubt that the action was dangerous and could lead to loss of lives and property, and it was against all safety measures in such places.

According to him, the Lagos State Government, through the Safety Commission will ensure that all parties to “the reprehensible action are made to account for it”.

“The safety of lives and property of Lagosians and visitors remain a top priority to government.

In addition, Omotoso said, “We, therefore, advise that actions that can lead to loss of lives and property be avoided.”
