Recall that in a bid to curtail the spread of coronavirus in the state, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu, in a recent media chat, announced the ban on public gathering of more than 50 persons in the state, However, in a publication released by the state Ministry of Information and Strategy, the state government said the approved number for social gatherings has been reduced to 20 persons.
At one of the venues, the agency got wind that over 500 persons were expected at the party and acted swiftly. As guests at the party would be more than the approved figure by the government, LASEPA officials moved into the venue and sealed it off.
