Safety violation: LASG seals shops on Lagos Island
April 18, 2024
The Lagos State Safety Commission has sealed two lock-up shops on Martins Street, off Broad Street, due to safety violations.
The Director-General of the Lagos State Safety Commission, Mr. Lanre Mojola disclosed that the two lock-up shops were sealed following a petition from a concerned member of the public alleging that the shops violated safety rules and regulations.
According to him, the Commission has a mandate to ensure the safety of lives and property in Lagos State.
He added that the two shops were sealed in response to the petition received by the Commission from a concerned resident about a transformer located directly in front of the shops at No. 148, Broad Street, Marina, Lagos.
Mojola, therefore, implored members of the public to support the government’s zero-tolerance policy against violations of safety rules and regulations.
He emphasised that safety is a collective responsibility and urged members of the public to report unsafe practices or infractions to 0700SAFETY.
