The Lagos State Government has sealed Havillah Event Centre, Oniru, where petrol was used as a souvenir at a party.

The event centre was sealed by officials of the Lagos Safety Commission and the Rapid Response Squad “for Contravening Public Safety Rules”.

Lagos State Commissioner for Information and Strategy, Gbenga Omotoso, had earlier said on Saturday that the state government would probe the use of petrol as souvenir at a party.

Omotoso said in a statement that the government’s attention had been drawn to a viral video showing kegs of petrol being handed out as souvenirs at an events centre in Lagos.

He said there was no doubt that the action was dangerous and could lead to loss of lives and property, and it was against all safety measures in such places.

According to him, the Lagos State Government, through the Safety Commission will ensure that all parties to “the reprehensible action are made to account for it”.

“The safety of lives and property of Lagosians and visitors remains a top priority to government.

“We, therefore, advise that actions that can lead to loss of lives and property be avoided,’’ Omotoso added.
Meanwhile the party host who distributed the fuel as souvenir as issued an unreserved apology for her indiscretion.
A fashion stylist, Pearl Chidinma Ogbulu who bagged the Erelu Okin of Orile Kemta on Friday, shared a dancing video alongside her apology put her actions down to “momentarily indiscretion.”She said, “My intent was just to show appreciation to my guests for turning up at my event at these hard times.

“I have paused to reflect and truly apologise and I thank you all for your understanding and criticisms.

“As ERELU OKIN, my mission is to beautify lives. I will continue to strive to be better and do better. Thank you.”
