The Local Government had earlier ban all night clubs/parties of any kind and issued stern warning to all hospitality centres within her jurisdiction not to allow their premises to be used for such activities till further notice. The directive was hinged on intelligent reports from security agencies that such social activities have been hijacked by unidentified persons with criminal intents.
It was reported that most of the night clubs arena have been converted to places of cult initiation and other related ritual activities prompting the Local Government to ban all night clubs and tighten security around all suspected areas.
Hon. Abdulrazaq has again assured the residents of Okene Local Government to go about their normal lawful businesses as security of lives and property of the people remain a top priority of government and will do everything within the ambit of the law to sustain the peace of the Council.
