Speaker Mudashiru Obasa said: “I have lost one of the most resourceful members that I depended on for advice, who was always willing to offer his advice at every given opportunity. He never disappointed me. He never had no for an answer and he had a ready answer to any question.”
Lagos State Government, through the Lagos State Safety Commission (LSSC), has sealed off over 10 social and religious centres due to non-compliance with the government directive on social distancing and ban on social and religious gathering.
The enforcement team, led by the Director General, LSSC, Mr. Lanre Mojola, said the commission, during an enforcement, shut The Harvest Lagos, Bay Lounge, The Heavens Suites, Angle Villa Bar, Ehi Guest House and Gardens, Egbeda, Mountain Top Hotels and Suites, Ojodu.
The Technical Adviser to the commission, Mr. Seun Awojobi, alleged that while carrying out the enforcement, the team was attacked at a hotel in Ipaja, Lagos. The hotel had over 100 people clubbing, flouting the government directive and contravening the Infectious Disease Law.
Mojola appealed to Lagosians to take responsibility and cooperate with the government to curb the spread of COVID-19.
He enjoined the public to register their businesses in line with the register to open initiative of the government on www.lasgsafetyreg.com to ensure space management when such businesses would be allowed to open.
