A mobile court sitting at the Lagos State Task Force on Environmental and Special Offences Enforcement Unit in Oshodi has convicted 172 persons arrested by the state police command for violating COVID-19 protocols.

The state Police Command shut down the popular Nightclub in Victoria Island where the violators were arrested.

With the aim of reducing losses, the government earlier permitted club houses with open bars and restaurants to resume such that there will be strict adherence to the covid19 protocols.

Rather than stick to the open bar arrangement where guests can be served drinks and grills while listening to music including live bands, police sources claimed Cubana opened its night club and allowed guests in, where they were allegedly caught dancing with no regards to the laid down social distancing policy.

“On Saturday, about 200 clubbers and fun seekers were arrested at Cubana Night Club, Lagos. They have immediately been handed over to the Lagos Police Command for investigation and possible prosecution.

Contacted, police spokesman, Olumuyiwa Adejobi confirmed that suspects were handed over to the command by the IGP Monitoring unit, adding that they would be paraded by the Commissioner of Police (CP) Hakeem Odumosu.
