Safety Violations: Lagos seals Buzz Barr, 7 other nightclubs, event centres

The Lagos State government has sealed eight nightclubs and event centres within Ikeja and Victoria Island for safety violations.

This was disclosed on Sunday by the Director-General, Lagos State Safety Commission, Lanre Mojola.

Mojola stated that the facilities were sealed in the interest of public safety, adding that the Commission aims to achieve zero accidents in workplaces and public facilities.

According to him, the Babajide Sanwo-olu’s administration has zero tolerance for violation of safety laws and will continually monitor such facilities to ensure compliance with laid down safety laws.

Some of the facilities that were said to be in contravention include Hot Box Nightclub, Shades Night Club, Buzzbar, and CCX Lounge, among others.

Mojola called on all recreational and event centres in the state who are yet to register with the commission to do so and obtain the safety compliance certificate.

He also encouraged event centres owners to obtain an event safety permit through the commission’s website. In addition, he said they should provide fire extinguishers, proper hygiene, housekeeping, use of safety signages at designated areas and ensure adequate parking spaces are provided to curtail traffic gridlock.

It would be recalled that the Director-General had during a meeting with nightclub owners in July, decried the increasing use of drugs and firearms in nightclubs in the state and had vowed to shut down any club caught with such issues.

Mojola had warned that the state government has zero tolerance for the use of drugs and firearms at nightclubs and would shut down such clubs.

“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,” Mojola had said

“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.”

Peter Okoye and Paul Okoye

P-Square feud returns as Paul Okoye claims ownership of Peter’s new single

In a rather shocking turn of events, Rudeboy has claimed ownership of Mr. P’s new single ‘Winning’ released on November 8, 2024.

Peter Okoye AKA Mr. P who is one half of the legendary music duo has released a new 2-pack EP with the songs ‘Winning’ and ‘Attention’ and the former has now become a subject of dispute among the brothers.

In a shocking post on his Instagram, Paul Okoye AKA Rudeboy has claimed ownership of ‘Winning’ while also uploading the demo version to back his claim in what is the latest chapter in their ongoing feud.

“Song title : WINNING

Written and sang by RUDEBOY

Produced by same producer.

NOW HOW COME ? NOW AM I SUPPOSE TO RELEASE ANOTHER VERSION? Mr Producer your case na for another day …

Just a simple thing : Bring 6 song let me bring 6 song … submitted my 6 songs to the so called management. why re-singing my own song word for word 🤷🏾‍♂️ Song that was sopos to be in my album next year June,” the caption reads in pidgin English.

According to Rudeboy, he submitted ‘Winning’ as one of the six songs he wrote for the now-cancelled P-Square reunion album. The song appears to be a message to the dueling brothers who continue to disregard fans’ and stakeholders’ calls to settle their differences.

Rudeboy continued his outburst on his Instagram story where he said the days of manipulations are over while warning that he will continue to release the demo of any songs written by him.

‘Winning’ has now taken an ironic turn as the song that calls for peace has become the subject of a new dispute of intellectual theft between the brothers.

Mr. P has yet to react to Rudeboy’s claim in the public dispute between the brothers, who have been at loggerheads for nearly a decade.

Earlier in the year, the Okoye brothers including their older brother and former Manager Jude took to social media to share their sides of the story on the infamous EFCC case allegedly instituted by Peter against his brothers over what he claimed was mismanagement of funds.
