On Friday, Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu had ordered nightclubs in the state to shut down over the rising cases of Covid-19.

The governor also prohibited concerts, street parties and carnivals and directed that Covid-19 protocols be adhered to in religious centres and other places with large gatherings.

In a video shared by the new media aide to the governor Gawat Jubril, the police ordered people out of the premises. Some of them in the video were holding their drinks as they moved out of the premises.
