The federal capital territory administration (FCTA) has sealed off the Jabi Lake mall for flouting guidelines put in place to check the spread of COVID-19.
The FCT ministerial enforcement task force on COVID-19 sealed off the mall on Sunday after for hosting a concert by Naira Marley, a singer.
Following the record of the virulent infection in Nigeria, the presidential task force on COVID-19 had banned public events and gatherings of more than 20 persons amid the coronavirus pandemic.
But the mall hosted the concert on Saturday, with pictures and videos showing people flagrantly disregarding social distancing measures.
The musical event was planned as a drive-in concert but it failed to conform to the planned arrangement.
The event was greeted by deluge of criticism, especially on social media, with many Nigerians calling for disciplinary measures against the singer and the organisers.
It was not immediately clear if any action has been taken against the musician who had arrived from Lagos on a chartered flight.
