Lagos State Government Shuts Down Quilox Nightclub for Safety and Environmental Violations. Quilox Restaurant Bar Night Club, owned by Shina Peller, a nightlife figure turned politician, has been closed by the Lagos State Government due to safety and environmental infractions. The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) announced the closure on Twitter, citing Quilox’s failure to comply with environmental regulations. The government’s action comes as a part of a joint enforcement operation by LASEPA and the Lagos State Safety Commission, which targeted social centers across the state. The statement emphasized the need for such establishments, including Sol Beach, the Good beaches, and landmark Beaches, to prioritize the safety and well-being of neighbors and citizens during the festive season.
The government had previously issued warnings to social centers, urging them to ensure their operations do not jeopardize the safety and well-being of other citizens. The closure of Quilox serves as a sanction in response to non-compliance with these regulations.
