For making too much noise and disturbing the peace of
their communities, 24 religious outfits were shut down in
2014.
According to the Lagos State government on Wednesday,
April 29, the religious houses were closed for
contravening the State guidelines on noise pollution.
Commissioner for Environment, Mr. Tunji Bello and
General Manager of the Lagos State Environment
Protection, LASEPA, Mr. Ademola Shabi, disclosed this at
the 2015 ministerial press briefing held in Alausa
Secretariat, Ikeja.
Shabi said: “We received over 1, 000 petitions in the year
under review. But we have been able to resolve some and
some have relocated.”
“We have shut about 24 religious outfits in the last one
year because they failed to adhere to the state guidelines
on noise pollution.”
“The religious outfits contribute about 50 percent of the
noise pollution in the state. In the last few years, we have
been having problem to control noise from these outfits.
We have been able to shut them down while some have
relocated from the community where they were.”

Good

A nice move. Everyone wants to open a church now. Next thing, they should start paying taxes since owning a church is now a biz venture

More of them need to be shut for being noisy.

I hope other states are taking note.

I know some noisy Catholic Churches too.

JWs are may not be noisy but they need to start paying tax, along with the others.

Lazy Tax collectors ! No church will pay any tax to anybody

Mosques make more noise pollution than any religious structure!

Everyday!
