Lagos govt seals off churches, others over pollution

The Lagos State Government has announced that it sealed off 10 buildings, including churches, bars, guest houses, and factories over noise pollution

The government said the action became necessary after “several warnings” issued to the occupants were unheeded.

The state’s Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, who disclosed this via his X handle on Wednesday, said the officials of the State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) took the step over environmental infractions.

The commissioner said the step was taken to tackle noise pollution and other environmental violations.

“The enforcement operation, which targeted locations in Ikeja, Mushin, Gbagada, and Maryland, is part of the agency’s ongoing efforts to ensure compliance with environmental laws and protect public health,” Mr Wahab said.
