Lagos seals church over noise complaints

Lagos State's environmental officials sealed a church in Surulere on Sunday due to late-night noise pollution that disrupted residents' sleep. The All Christians Gathering Ministry, located at Ishola Street, was shut down after an investigation confirmed the church violated environmental regulations and caused a nuisance, announced Tokunbo Wahab, the state Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources.

Wahab stated that the church will remain closed until further notice and emphasized that the state will not tolerate environmental violations or nuisances that disrupt residents' peace and well-being. The action came after an X user, DAVERY (@BigDavery), complained about the noise on Saturday, describing the situation as getting louder and potentially deliberate.
