A serving federal lawmaker in the Nigerian National Assembly, Shina Peller has made a cryptic comment over the closure of his nightclub, popularly called Quilox by the Lagos State Government.

The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency had  on Saturday shut down Quilox, on Ozumba Nbadwe Street, Victoria Island, for organising an event without a sound control permit.

According to a statement on Sunday, the enforcement exercise, which was jointly carried out by LASEPA and the Lagos State Environmental and Special Offences Unit (task force), took place around 4 pm.

Similarly, the club was sealed off by LASEPA on December 23, 2019 over noise pollution and traffic congestion.

The General Manager of LASEPA, Dolapo Fasawe, on Sunday disclosed that the club was again shut down over non-compliance with the law on obtaining a sound control permit.

She said the agency received several distress calls with video evidence from concerned neighbours on the alleged environmental nuisance constituted by the club.

Reacting to this, Shina Peller, a member of the House of Representatives representing Iseyin/Itesiwaju/Kajola/Iwajowa federal constituency in Oyo State, in a Facebook post on Monday, said, “A man who is intimate with God is not intimidated by man. Eye on the ball.”
