Epe LG bans all-night street carnivals

The Chairman of Epe Local Government, Mrs. Surah Animashaun, has said all-night street carnivals would not be allowed across the council area as a result of lingering security challenges.

Animashaun told the News Agency of Nigeria in Lagos on Friday that all events regarding street carnivals should end by 10pm.

The chairman called on all the council legislators, community and religious leaders  to help sensitise and inform their followers and other residents on the development.

“The local government has resolved that there shall be no all-night carnivals in the ancient community, as a result of the security situation.

“To this end, all youth carnivals should end by 10pm unfailingly. Failure to comply with this executive order, the local government would not hesitate to take action against any violator.

“Please help publicise this order to the hearing of the youths and the public especially organisers of street carnivals that all events should end by 10pm, ” she said.
