The management of Wonderland Lagos at Eko Energy City has stated that it is committed to its customers' safety.
This was in response to the widespread distribution of a video in which a parent complained about an open wire incident at Wonderland Park in Lagos.
The park's management said in a statement that it is committed to providing a safe and fun environment for all of its customers, and that no one was killed at its facility as a result of a customer electrocution.
Ezekiel Adamu, Co-Founder of Wonderland Lagos, stated that prior to its opening, Lagos State conducted risk assessments before it was approved to operate as an entertainment city.
The Co-founder in the statement said,“We can assure the public that no lives have been lost at Wonderland Lagos, our safety policies are intact, the safety and leisure of our customers is our topmost priority, and we are working with all of our vendors as well as Lagos State, to ensure that Wonderland Lagos is a safe space for all of our children and families.”
“At the heart of Wonderland Lagos’ mission is to provide leisure, play, and culture to children of all ages. Safe parks and play areas are essential towards building lasting memories and experiences, and we remain committed to providing this,” he added.
It read, “The safety of everyone who visits or works at the park is of the utmost priority to us.
“For this reason, safety precautions are taken very seriously with regular checks to ensure that all stipulated safety rules, regulations, and policies are strictly adhered to.
“The incident in question was not reported to Wonderland officials and was only made apparent on a viral post on social media. The management of the park has since begun investigations and new rounds of safety assessments to ensure that families can have fun in a conducive and safe environment within the park.”
It added that the management of the park had requested for the Lagos State Government to conduct another risk assessment, saying the park would be safely reopened for the public pending the approval and passing of the facility.
