Worried about the increase in cases of cult activities in Ondo state, the Government has warned operators of nightclubs not to entertain customers beyond the stipulated time of midnight.
A Government statement, signed by the Commissioner for Information, Mr Donald Ojogo, reiterated that those found to be running foul of the order would be dealt with.
According to the statement, “The Ondo State Government notes with deep concern, the rising cases of insecurity in the State, especially the capital, Akure.
“Specifically, these noticeable cases are traceable to the activities of cult groups and ancillary circumstances.
“Further to this, Night Clubs and their late hour activities have heightened this ugly situation. Most importantly, such locations along major roads in the State Capital are most culpable. This is abhorrent, without a doubt.
“In the light of the foregoing, Government wishes to reiterate its ban on late hour activities of Night Clubs, Pubs and Public Bars.
“Succinctly, any violation of this ban from 12 midnight shall be met with a commensurate action by relevant authorities.
“For emphasis, no nightclub, pub or public bar must operate beyond midnight, starting from today, Thursday, July 8, 2021.
“Accordingly, relevant security agencies, including the Amotekun Corps, have been briefed and directed to carry out this renewed vigour and directive in this regard.”
