Two lounges and night clubs in Maitama and Wuse have been shutdown by the Federal Capital Territory’s enforcement team.

The entertainment houses were closed for flouting the curfews currently in place to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

President Muhammadu Buhari had on March 30, 2020 announced a total restriction on movement in Lagos, ogun, and FCT to reduce the spread of COVID-19.

After five weeks, a first phase of easing the lockdown had reduced restrictions on movement to between 8pm to 6am with emphasis on night clubs and places that encouraged social gatherings.



On the 29th June 2020, a second phase of the gradual ease of lockdown in place to curtail the coronavirus pandemic, was approved by President Muhammadu Buhari.
