Lagos shuts down church, hotels, bakery for noise pollution violations
The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) has sealed a Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) parish, along with several hotels and other establishments, for allegedly contributing to noise pollution.
The enforcement operation was carried out across Mushin, Amuwo Odofin, and Okota Isolo.
In a statement posted on Thursday via the agency’s X (formerly Twitter) handle, the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) emphasized its commitment to creating a healthier and more sustainable environment for all Lagos residents.
The agency recently sealed multiple establishments across the state for alleged noise pollution violations, including Daily Bakery, Redeemed Christian Church of God, Gak Universal Allied Limited, Ideal Standard, Franjane Royal Suites, Golden Haven Resort & Suites, Festival Hotel Conference Center & SPA, FS Service Centre, and Moulin Rouge Ventures at Olivia Mall.
These businesses were shut down for failing to adhere to environmental standards, despite receiving prior warnings from LASEPA.
Dr. Babatunde Ajayi, General Manager of LASEPA, reinforced the agency’s zero-tolerance stance on activities that threaten public health and disrupt community peace. “Environmental protection is a shared responsibility,” he stated, stressing the importance of compliance with environmental laws. “Noise pollution and other infractions have serious consequences on public health and quality of life. We urge businesses and individuals to adopt sustainable practices.”
Ajayi also encouraged residents to report environmental violations through LASEPA’s official channels, highlighting the need for collective action in safeguarding the environment.
