The shutdown was attributed to environmental and safety infractions.

"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," LASEPA announced through its official handle.

The agency emphasized that Quilox had failed to comply with environmental rules.

“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,” it added.

Meanwhile, the agencies also warned the operators of Sol Beach, the Good beaches, landmark Beaches and other social centres across the state to ensure that adequate considerations are made towards the safety and wellbeing of their neighbors and citizens of the state during the yuletide.
