Lagos goes tough on Night Club Operators, vows to shut clubs allowing the use of drugs, firearms. Collaborates with NDLEA and NPF

The Lagos State Safety Commission has decried the increasing use of drugs and firearms in nightclubs in Lagos and has vowed to shut down any club caught with such issues henceforth.

Director-General (DG) of the Commission, Mr. Lanre Mojola, who spoke at a meeting with night club owners warned that the state government has zero tolerance for the use of drugs and firearms at night clubs and would henceforth shut down such clubs.

The meeting also had officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) present.

Mojola lamented that the use of hard drugs and firearms had become rampant in several night clubs across Lagos and would collaborate with relevant authorities to stop such proliferation.

The DG also decried the presence of underaged in many night clubs in the state, saying that it is against the law to allow the presence of minors at night clubs.

In his words: "The purpose of this meeting is to address certain concerns that have come to our attention this includes the usage of drugs, the use of firearms and other safety issues that have become a major cause of concern for the Lagos State Government"

" On the issue of firearms in clubs, last year we had an incident with a superstar, we are also aware of a shooting accident that happened at a club recently and these gives us serious concerns and we need to tell ourselves the truth. There should be scanners that can detect firearms and other weapons. He further asked, of what use are your security operatives?

He further stated that clubs frontages have been turned to drug sales outlets, and he mandated the use of proper signages to convert the message of no drugs no firearms and no underage to club goers.

He warned night club owners to respect the laws of the state as the government would not hesitate to wield the big stick on those flagrantly violating the law regarding operation of night clubs.

The DG also called on night club owners to take responsibility and work together to tackle the issues of drug and firearms usage.

Also speaking, the staff officer in charge of operations lagos state command Superintendent of narcotics Maijama'a Abdullahi lamented that drugs were being used in most night clubs from his findings after undergoing a secret tour of some clubs in Lagos.

He said that in many night clubs, there were no signages to warn people against doing drugs, decrying that drugs were being used excessively. 

"The drug dealers stick around the clubs, they stick outside the clubs and sell drugs. Some of those selling drugs are friends with the bouncers. We need the help of club owners, it is getting out of hand.

Mojola ended the meeting saying that the Commission alongside officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency and the Nigerian Police Force will start regular visits to night clubs in the State and shut down erring ones.

A very good development.

My state of residence has special hubs for hard drug use, and surprisingly, even government officials are attending with security personnel to benefit from these illicit substances. The situation is long overdue and needs to be addressed.

I thought drugs are part of what people like taking at clubs. You can't separate alcohol and drugs from clubs. I still reasoned firearms own.

Shut them down Jare!

All those underage at Oshodi, etc smoking shii should be packed too!

And those that collaborate with NDLEA lol

As life keeps going i realise that the rich tolerate crime and they are in no way wiser than the poor. They just have the courage to exploit others. It is highly prevalent in a capitalist states The people who are able to make it to the top are those who make the laws and they are made with regard to their capitalism mentality. We are no more striving for the basic human needs but to have for ourselves what is supposed to be for someone else and accuse them of being Lazy. Yet No offence. This is the world system. If you want good. You have no option than to strive holding thesame mentality. At the end there is no one to be blamed.

Generally speaking, The world is not getting anyway better and it is not going to be. Technology is not the way out. Instead it will further the badness. The religious people knows better.
