The crisis of leadership rocking the high-end Lagos Country Club, Ikeja, Lagos, instead of abating may have deepened, Daily Query can report.
Sprawled on plots of land on Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way, Joel Ogunnaike Street in Ikeja, the elitist members-only club has been shut down indefinitely “due to threats of violence being made by some elements,” according to a statement by its Caretaker Committee Chairman and Vice Chairman, respectively, Chief Muniru Moradeyo and Sunny Ukhuelegbe, announcing the closure.
According to them, the Club has been closed for safety reasons.
In a public notice dated October 12, 2024, the caretaker committee said its attention had been drawn to an ‘illegal’ Emergency General Meeting (EGM) purportedly held by some ‘disgruntled’ members of the Club on Thursday, the 10th of October, 2024, warning that the October 10, 2024 meeting was held contrary to the directive of the Caretaker Committee against it, especially because there are two pending cases before the court against the EGM, pending the outcome of the cases.
“The EGM resolution attempts to overthrow the present Caretaker Committee and supplant this constituted authority with another committee, contrary to the Consent Judgement under which the present Caretaker Committee was inaugurated without a Court Order and in contempt of the Consent Judgement and pending cases.
“This is an attempted coup d’etat and extreme lawlessness which we, as law-abiding people, will not allow to happen.
“Due to the threats of violence being made by some elements of this group, and in order to avoid harm to Club members and their families and possible damage to property, we have come to the necessary though unpalatable decision to close the Club immediately with effect from Saturday, the 12th of October, 2024 until further notice and we urge everyone to stay away from the Club for now.
“We shall update you on developments and re-open the Club as soon as it is safe to do so,” the notice stated.
