The Lagos State Government has shut down a parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, a Celestial Church, as well as several hotels and event centres due to noise pollution.
The state’s Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, announced this in a post on X on Wednesday, stating that the closures were part of efforts to address environmental violations.
“In a bid to tackle noise pollution and other environmental offences, the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) took action yesterday (Tuesday), closing several establishments across different parts of the state.
“This enforcement drive, targeting areas such as Ogudu, Gbagada, Iyana Ejigbo, Isolo, Ajao Estate, Oshodi, Ilasamaja, and Okota, forms part of LASEPA’s ongoing efforts to uphold environmental standards and protect public health.
