Lagos state govt begins enforcement of ban on public gathering, shuts down surprise party and seals off two event centers (video/photos)

Officials of the Lagos Environmental Protection Agency LASEPA, today sealed off the venue of a surprise party in the state.

The agency got wind that over 500 persons were expected at the party and acted swiftly.

Recall that in a bid to curtail the spread of Coronavirus in the state, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, in a recent media chat, announced the ban on public gathering of more than 50 persons in the state, However, in a publication released by the state Ministry of Information and Strategy, the state government said the approved number for social gatherings has been reduced to 20 persons.

As guests at the party would be more than the approved figure by the government, LASEPA officials moved into the venue and sealed it off.

In a related development, the LASEPA officials also sealed off Regency and Imperial hall for failing to comply to the initial ban on social gathering above 50 persons in the state.
