In a bid to combat noise pollution, the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) has taken stern action, shutting down a branch of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), four other churches, a mosque, and seven establishments, including hotels, nightclubs, bars, and a supermarket.
The affected churches are Children of God Healings Deliverance and Adoration Ministry, City of Testimony Church, Cherubim & Seraphim (Ayo ni), Station of Relief Christ Ministry, and Redeemed Christian Church of God (Sanctuary of Favour), along with Ifelodun Mosque.
The crackdown also targeted Euphoria Night Club, Mainland Leisure View Hotel, House 46 Hotel and Suites, Selino Hotel, Lady B Gold Bar, Da-Villa Hotel, Perch Hotel & Suites, and Avro Supermarket, all situated in various parts of Lekki and Surulere areas of Lagos State.
LASEPA, in a statement on its official X handle, emphasized that these closures align with its mandate to safeguard the environment from noise pollution and other violations.
The agency declared, “We took decisive action by sealing several establishments to address the identified instances of noise pollution and other environmental violations.”
