This was in reaction to the circulation of a video where a parent made a complaint about an experience at Wonderland Park in Lagos, concerning an open wire incident.
In a statement by the park, the Management of Wonderland Lagos at Eko Energy City, said it is committed to a safe and fun environment for all its customers, adding that nobody was killed at its facility following the electrocution of a customer.
The Co-founder of Wonderland Lagos, Ezekiel Adamu, said prior to its opening, risk assessments were conducted by Lagos State before it was approved to operate as an entertainment city.
The in the statement said,”We can assure the public that no lives have been lost at Wonderland Lagos, our safety policies are intact, the safety and leisure of our customers is our topmost priority, and we are working with all of our vendors as well as Lagos State, to ensure that Wonderland Lagos is a safe space for all of our children and families.”
“At the heart of Wonderland Lagos’ mission is to provide leisure, play, and culture to children of all ages. Safe parks and play areas are essential towards building lasting memories and experiences, and we remain committed to providing this,” he added.
It read, “The safety of everyone who visits or works at the park is of the utmost priority to us.
“For this reason, safety precautions are taken very seriously with regular checks to ensure that all stipulated safety rules, regulations, and policies are strictly adhered to.
“The incident in question was not reported to Wonderland officials and was only made apparent on a viral post on social media. The management of the park has since begun investigations and new rounds of safety assessments to ensure that families can have fun in a conducive and safe environment within the park.”
It added that the management of the park had requested for the Lagos State Government to conduct another risk assessment, saying the park would be safely reopened for the public pending the approval and passing of the facility.
