The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) has closed down a popular night club, Quilox – located the Victoria Island area of the city.

The enforcement exercise was carried out on Sunday afternoon after road users complained of the gridlock caused on the busy road by the club users.

In a statement on Sunday, the Lagos agency also warned Sol beach, Good beach, and Landmark beach, all on the Lekki corridor, to desist from causing environmental and safety infractions in the cause of carrying out their business operation.

“A joint enforcement operation between the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) and the Lagos State Safety Commission (LSC) sealed Quilox nightclub over environmental and safety infractions,’ the statement reads.

“Recall an earlier press release, where both agencies warned social centres to ensure that their operations do not affect the safety and well-being of other citizens and vowed to sanction any of such erring.

“The agencies also warned the operators of Sol beach, the good beach, landmark beach and other social centres across the state to ensure that adequate considerations are made towards the safety and wellbeing of their neighbours and citizens of the state during the yuletide.”

This is not the first time the club will be sealed off over the same concerns. December 2022 the same club was sealed and it took intervention from several quaters to open the club.

Shina Peller, the promoter of the facility is also a politician from Oyo State.
