Lagos seals church over noise complaints

The Lagos State government has sealed a church, The All Christians Gathering Ministry, in Surulere due to persistent complaints about late-night noise pollution. The environmental officials confirmed that the church violated environmental regulations and caused a nuisance to residents, leading to its closure this morning. The enforcement action comes after an online petition by a resident who described the disturbances and its impact on local residents.

The church, located at No. 1, Ishola Street, off Clegg, Surulere, will remain shut until further notice. Environment Commissioner Tokunbo Wahab emphasized the state's commitment to enforcing environmental regulations, warning that all establishments must comply strictly. The incident is part of Lagos State's ongoing efforts to control noise pollution, with similar actions taken against other establishments in recent months.
