The enforcement exercise by the government was jointly carried out by the officials of the agency and the Lagos Tasks Force.
The decision to shut down the Quilox club was a result of several complaints made by the residents living in the area. According to reports, the noise from the club disturbs the peace of residents and also interferes with their sleep, hence the decision.
The General manager of LASEPA, Dr. Dolapo Fasawe disclosed that the agency received a lot of complaints from residents with video evidence from neighbors as well on the environmental nuisances the club was creating.
