The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) has confirmed the sealing of several buildings in the Ifako-Ijaiye and Igando areas over repeated cases of 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”.
