Apart from retaining its position as the epicentre of the pandemic in the country, Lagos has recorded huge infections of the virus since the second wave began.

Despite this grim reality, many residents, as well as business outfits, especially nightclubs in the nation’s commercial hub have refused to adhere to the safety protocols.
