The Lagos State Government on Saturday sealed Havilah Events Centre in the Oniru area.
The facility was sanctioned for contravening public safety rules (fuel souvenir).
A joint team of the Lagos Safety Commission and the Police Rapid Response Squad (RRS) carried out the operation.
The controversial party was the installation of Pearl Chidinma Ogbolu as Erelu Okin of Orile Kemta.
However, Omokri, who was the presidential assistant to Goodluck Jonathan, admitted that it is wrong to share fuel as souvenirs, but swiftly recalled that members of the first family had also flouted some rules, such as the spraying of Naira notes and Covid-19 protocols in recent past.
He pointed out that while the COVID-19 protocols were breached at Yusuf Buhari’s wedding, Naira notes were sprayed at Buhari’s daughter, Hanan’s wedding.
“Yes, it is illegal to share petrol in kegs as a party souvenir. But the CBN also made it illegal to spray Naira notes at parties. Naira notes were sprayed at Buhari’s daughter’s wedding. Why arrest the fuel in keg people, and leave Buhari’s daughter’s Naira sprayers?
“The threatened arrest of the fuel souvenir people reminds me of how they charged Naira Marley and Funke Akindele for breaching COVID-19 protocols, only for Yusuf Buhari’s wedding to be the mother of all COVID-19 breaches. But no one arrested anyone, much less charged!” He tweeted.
