The Lagos State Government on Sunday took action to close down Quilox Restaurant Bar Night Club, which is owned by Shina Peller, citing environmental and safety violations. 

The closure followed a joint enforcement operation conducted by the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency and the Lagos State Safety Commission. 

LASEPA, through its official communication channel, revealed that Quilox had failed to adhere to environmental regulations.

“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,” LASEPA announced via its X handle.

This move comes in response to previous warnings issued by both agencies to social centers, emphasizing the need to conduct their operations without jeopardizing the safety and well-being of other citizens. 

The agencies had vowed to take punitive measures against establishments found in violation of these guidelines.

In addition to the shutdown of Quilox, the agencies issued warnings to the operators of Sol Beach, the Good beaches, landmark Beaches, and other social centers across the state.
