Lagos Restaurant Denies CNN Journalist And Her Friend Entry For This Reason

Aisha Salaudeen, a journalist who works with CNN has called out a restaurant in GRA Lagos over their refusal to allow herself and her friend gain entry.

According to her, she got kicked out of   Harzoyka restaurant because their new policy says no women allowed.

She wrote on Twitter: I got kicked out of Harzoyka restaurant in GRA Ikeja today because according to them, they have a new policy – no women allowed. This is a restaurant I’ve visited multiple times in the past few years.

When I pressed about why I was been hushed out, I was told that to eat in there I had to be chaperoned by a man. I was too stunned to comment, I cannot have a meal because I’m a woman? @MsAdeola and I had to eat somewhere else.
