Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu has ordered all night clubs in the state to close daily operations by 12 midnight.
Mr. Akeredolu, who expressed concerns over rising cases of insecurity in the state especially Akure, said noticeable cases are traceable to activities of cult groups and ancillary circumstances.
The Governor, who spoke in a statement by Commissioner for Information and Orientation, Donald Ojogo, said nightclubs’ late hour activities have heightened what he described as an ugly situation.
He said the locations of some of the nightclubs along major roads in Akure were most culpable.
He reiterated government ban on late hour activities of night clubs, pubs and public bars.
Mr. Akeredolu warned that violation of the ban from 12 midnight shall be met with a commensurate action by relevant authorities.
