The state government has ordered the suspension of activities at the children’s section of Wonderland Lagos after a guest was electrocuted at the event venue.

Lanre Mojola, the director-general of the Lagos State Safety Commission, in a statement, said the development became imperative to prevent further exposure of attendees — especially kids at the venue — to accidents that can lead to injuries and fatalities.

“The closure was imperative to prevent further exposure of attendees at the venue to prevent accidents that could lead to injuries and fatalities,” the DG said.

“The event venue owner, Mr. Ezekiel Adamu, had refused to implement safety measures prescribed by the commission.

“[This is] despite several meetings at the onset of the project following an initial safety inspection exercise carried out on the venue to deliberate on safety infractions observed within the facility.

“It has however become urgent and pertinent to shut down the facility until all infractions are corrected to prevent users from further exposure to risk, especially children.

“[It is also] to also ensure that other lined-up events are safe for Lagos residents.”

Mojola argued that no individual or institution is bigger than the state.

He said the commission will continually ensure the safety of Lagosians as they go about enjoying the festive season.

The DG further warned owners of similar facilities in Lagos that are not complying with the state’s safety guidelines on events and urged residents to socialise responsibly.
