In fact, the organizers should be the ones facing the heat, not the event center. I bet the owner of the event center didn't know such would happen when they rented the hall...

The Lagos State Commissioner of Police has also ordered the arrest of the celebrants and organisers of the Show of Shame. See below.

FLASH: Lagos State Government through the Lagos Safety Commission and the Rapid Response Squad has sealed Havillah Event Centre, Oniru, for Contravening Public Safety Rules (Fuel Souvenir) … as Lagos CP orders the arrest of culprits involved.

WibusJaga:
Actually found it difficult to believe how sensible folks could be handling such highly flammable substance as petrol & giving it out as souvenirs. Just needed one careless smoker with cigarette to come close &... boom! The rest will be disastrous history.

DMerciful:
Right decision! What if there was fire? Very unsafe act!

You're quite right. I just hope this same government and safety crew will keep that same energy when politicians start sharing kerosine and petrol in a few months to elections...

But why harass the owner of the venue? If you want to harass somebody should it not be the person distributing the fuel?

Nice one. I don't know why most Lagosians are lightheaded.

The spirit of Owambe has turned Lagosians into brainless entities.

lexy2014:


It's a stupid decision. Is it the event centre that organised the party? Are they the ones that shared fuel or did they no that those that hired the facility where going to share fuel? If they are serious, they should arrest those who shared fuel

So, the event centre manager/administrators were not around too?

This is barbaric and ridiculous by the event planners, what where they thinking?, Oh because fuel is scarce and then you think the next thing to dash out is PM's. What a stupid Idea and dumb ideas when there are thousands of other goodies you can give as souvenir.

Infact, the event manager should be arrested and detained for such public nuisance, do you know how inflammable PMs is ?, Using "Haccap" it is dangerous and a pointer for hazard. I don't think many of this folks know anything about safety of life and property.

It is not nice atall in a society like this where anything goes wrong within seconds. The owner of the event center must be made to pay a fine and write an undertaken to its effect on the public. However, it is because we take lifes and ourselves for granted that is why we showcase our mediocrity, in a saner climes you are gone.

Why will Lagos State government decide what to give and what not to give. This country is just full of drama

So it's a crime to give out what you can afford

But if someone had made a fatal error that day or electrical sparking had ignited a fire that day, burning people alive alongside the event hall, una go dey open your mouths waaaaaaa, asking where was the government?

Why not arrest the organiser's except the organiser's and the owner of the event centre are one and same person.

Its not about sharing petrol but the way its been shared. Petrol is highly inflammable so should be dispensed properly.

Kerosine on the other hand is not that volatile so a bit safe. People share kerosine from tankers or tanks but you wont see this kind of reaction because kerosine or diesel are relatively safe compared to petrol.

We did some form of risk assessment before condemning this

If there was a fire, everyone would have been blaming government and all the regulatory bodies.

Is it not Nigeria?

If the Mumu event centre had the enlightenment to employ a safety officer, he would have educated and prevented the foolish celebrants from bringing in in highly flammable substances into the hall. Penny wise, pound foolish.

The Safety dude would have saved them from this embarrassing situation.

Such glorious foolishness...

. That's the hight of foolishness and irresponsibility. Any small spark and hundreds of people go up in flames. Massive disaster it would be.

What Amazes me is the level of hypocrisy in this country . We all pretend like we do not know how our Politicians and we Nigerians are impossible.

If teh Owner or officials of the event centre had intervened to stop the distribution , it will have been followed by name dropping and threats, the everyday Nigerian passing and at the event would have blamed anyone who attempts to stop the distribution, he or she may be lynched. Have you ever challenged someone who threw thrash from a moving vehicle?.... and see that most Nigerians will support the fellow. Some of the same people who see no wrong in breaking simple rules will come online and blame the owener of the events centre....Hypocrisy!

Governments in Nigeria and the civil servants and useless, why close the centre , why spray their walls with paint?why deface the place. If there is an infringement around the fuel then give a fine but most importantly GO AFTER THE CULPRIT WHO DISTRIBUTED FUEL!? WTF!

LAgos state is run by charlatans , the person who distributed fuel has a name , go arrest the person and fine her if you have a liver and that will serve as a deterrent. They chase the weak and vulnerable and pat the influential on the back when they do wrong.
There is no business owner who will support the actions of the state , its reeking of eye service and just to deceive the public that they are working. LAgos state safety commission should arrest the Commissioner of works for all the open man holes on the road and the Commissioner of transport for the unsafe and rickety busses (Recall they hold private car owners and businesss owners for MOT and expiured livence but no one is watching the danfos for road worthiness or registration not to talk of insurance)

Lagos state is just making businesses suffer and making it so hard to do business in the state ....Lazy and useless people

abbey621:
So the business owner was supposed to monitor the type of gifts they shared and cause a commotion if it does not align with public safety. Most of you knuckleheads are unrealistic, a credible lawyer should have no problem getting the event centre opened as the charges are beyond ridiculous.

A business owner has the right to monitor what type of activities goes on in his premises. That's why securities and managers are on the payroll. He doesn't need to cause commotion to do this. A simple terms and conditions form will guide potential users' conduct.

Common sense should always be a priority,under the law the event center is responsible for monitoring any activities going on there,if a club opens during lockdown because people booked it,you expect government to leave the club and be pursuing clubbers that have gone home up and down abi

Chaii it baffles me when you don't give some issues deep thinking. Do you know that small mistake in that venue can turn from a potential hazard to deaths and serious injuries?

The owner of the event centre did not even consider what collateral damage a fire could have done to his investment. We live everything to chance in this country.

I am sure if fire had razed that venue, you will surely be amongst those that will be screaming government is not doing their job.

The government should also go as far as prosecuting all those involved. We need to be making Scapegoats in this country to deter people in doing barbaric things

lexy2014:


But it still the questions I asked. Since u aren't mumu, kindly answer the following questions:

Is it the event centre that organised the party? Are they the ones that shared fuel or did they no that those that hired the facility where going to share fuel?

Stop embarrassing yourself na,the even center is culpable, it's Their building and are shop to monitor the activities being carried out there.there are liable under the law.

All that one na grammar for the gods, we are talking about proactively stopping distribution of dangerous goods not the aftermath consequences......Do you know the type of people that rent event halls at Oniru or V.I? Goodluck telling them you can't share this you can't share that......Una dey forget say this na 9ja, ordinary poor people dey vex not to talk of people with money and power, talk is cheap my nigga

So in your opinion, money (currency notes) is the same is highly inflammable petrol? Your stupidity is legendary, abeg.

rottable:
They don start with their initial gra gra, las las, they will still open it back

Do you want them to demolish it or seal it for eternity? Normally the management will be taken through necessary disciplinary actions, fine, training etc and they will be allowed to operate. If government decides to lock it forever, you will scream high handedness

Too pedestrian for me to respond.

Organizer and owner of the event center are mad, federal should start livestock farming in that very property.

So money is highly inflammable, bobo Yi o ni opolo sha..

MadamVanessa:

Uselesssss country.
During election time, politicians have been distributing worst fuel to the public but no single arrest was made, Few months now to 2023 election, they will start distributing their useless fuel, no arrest will be made . They victimized the poor and the voiceless so much in this good for nothing contraption.

Honestly, Igbos lack deep thinking and I'm not even insulting you now. It is an apparent fact.

Use or share of any combustible substance in an event centre as a form of souvenir is an unsafe act, The combustion triangle or fire triangle is the three components required for igniting and sustaining a fire. Oxygen, fuel, and heat are the three ingredients the only ingredient missing at the event centre was heat and the rest is history. And for the safety officers reflective vest is not the only PPE going for an enforcement

The things that I'm going to share during my weeding will even make them to cancel reception in Nigeria.

Do you know it is very possible for you to make one sensible comment on this platform. How does sharing something as dangerous as fuel in an event relate to tinubu sharing money… I will keep praying for you that one day in my lifetime you will be able to articulate a sensible comment

kellidoo:
Good, but the Organizers should also be arrested immediately

The government chose to make hell out of Nigerians, you thought we will keep mute!!!

In one way or the other we the masses will survive you like it or not...

Both parties are guilty. The management of the event center should have stopped the organizers the moment they noticed it was fuel they were distributing. He should have done it for the safety of the people and the risk of getting his event center razed down by fire. They shouldn't let the organizers go free. They are the main culprit.

Government wey no get shame
