Owing to noise pollution, the Lagos State Government, acting via the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA), has shuttered six additional establishments including a branch of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG).
Additionally, Dominion City Church, Red Bar, Farm City, Acuma Event Centre, The Odyssey Apartments, and Fortunes Shortlet Apartment were closed by LASEPA.
Similar closures of religious centres, including RCCG, were carried out by the agency last year due to environmental violations. The impacted buildings are dispersed throughout Lekki Phase 1, Oniru, Lekki, and Ajah on Lagos Island.
The announcement, made through its official communication channel on Thursday, highlighted the diverse locations of the sealed establishments, including Red Bar, Farm City, The Odyssey Apartments, Acuma Event Centre, Dominion City Church, Redeemed Christian Church of God (The New Covenant Assembly), and Fortunes Shortlet Apartment.
These establishments are situated in various areas of Lekki Phase 1, Oniru Lekki, and Ajah in the Lagos Island region of the state. LASEPA emphasized that the state government’s action is necessary to address instances of noise pollution and other environmental violations.
The agency expressed its commitment to ensuring a peaceful and sustainable environment that is safer, cleaner, and environmentally friendly.
