Two managers from Kingfisher, a restaurant located in the Lekki area of Lagos State, were apprehended for their actions in breaking the government seal used to close the establishment and subsequently resuming full operations.
The revelation was made in a statement posted on the official social media account of Jubril Gawat, the Senior Special Adviser to the Lagos State Governor on New Media, on a Monday.

“They will be charged to court today and face the maximum consequence of their actions.”
