The Lagos State government has ordered the closure of Quilox Restaurant Bar and Night Club, a popular establishment situated in the Victoria Island area.
The nightclub, located on Ozumba Mbadiwe Avenue, is owned by Shina Peller, a former member of the House of Representatives from Oyo State.
The shutdown, announced by the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) on its official Twitter page, was attributed to environmental and safety violations.
LASEPA said the action follows prior warnings regarding adherence to safety standards.
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.
“Recall an earlier press release where both agencies have warned social centres to ensure that their operations do not affect the safety and wellbeing of other citizens and vowed to sanction any of such erring.”
