Oh, the whole drama about Cubana Chief Priest's restaurant in Lekki getting sealed was pretty wild! Basically, the Lagos government shut down his place because they caught people dumping waste illegally from the restaurant. The Lekki Estate Residents Association security team actually caught some folks unloading trash from a van, which they traced back to Cubana Chief Priest's spot. The security team even turned down a bribe, which I thought was pretty bold of them.
Once the state’s waste management people got involved, they locked up the restaurant for breaking environmental rules. I've seen in the news before that businesses in that part of Lagos sometimes get away with dodgy stuff like this, but this time, the authorities really went all out. There's been a lot of talk on social media, with some people backing the government and others saying maybe the punishment was too harsh, especially for such a popular hangout.
I've noticed a lot more enforcement going on lately. Lagos is kinda strict about their health and waste laws now, especially when high-profile names are involved. So it’s not just Cubana Chief Priest—other businesses definitely get checked too. Just goes to show, you can't mess around with the law, even if you're really popular.
