The Lagos State Government has closed a parish of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, a Celestial Church, along with several hotels and event centers due to noise pollution.
Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, announced the closures on X, explaining that they are 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.
“The affected establishments include Honourable Lounge & Lodging, Redeemed Christian Church of God, Celestial Church of God, OMA Night Club and Lounge, Bridge Spot Bar, Okiki Event Centre and Hall, Emota Paradise Hotel (Phase 2), CF Hotel & Suites, House 27 Hotel & Suites, Echo Spring Hotel, and Smile T Continental Hotel,” Wahab wrote.
Similar act took place three months ago when the government sealed off Landcraft Industries Nigeria and the Word of Light Christ Ministry (Camp of Light) for noise and environmental pollution-related offences.
