The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) has disclosed that it has sealed several buildings in College Road Ifako Ijaiye, and Lasu- lsheri Rd Igando for repeated violations, including noise and air pollution.
LASEPA confirmed this in a post on X on Tuesday, following an enforcement operation carried out on Monday.
Among the sealed premises were the Cherubim and Seraphim (King of Kings) Church in Georgius Cole Estate, Ifako-Ijaiye; a fufu-making shop for heat and air pollution; and Tyonex Nigeria Limited, LASU–Isheri Road, Igando, for environmental nuisance.
LASEPA General Manager, Babatunde Ajayi, said the enforcement was aimed at protecting public health and restoring environmental sanity across Lagos.
He noted that the agency had received multiple complaints from residents about the church’s activities despite previous warnings.
Ajayi, ”specifically frowned at the Cherubim and Seraphim Church operating illegally within a residential Georgius Cole Estate, Ifako Ijaye, with several complaints of unabated noise infractions brought against the Church by the residents
“He warned that as much as there is freedom of worship in the State, no individual or association is allowed to infringe on the fundamental rights of others or impact negatively on the health of other neighbours in the name of religious activities.
“He urged residents and business owners to comply with government regulations, reaffirming the agency’s zero-tolerance policy for noise and other form of pollution across Lagos State.”
