[size=14pt]Lagos State Government shuts down 2 churches & two mosques for noise pollution.[/size]

May 22, 2012

The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) in conjunction with the Lagos State Task force on Environmental and Special Offences (Enforcement) Unit, yesterday Monday May 21, shut down two churches and two mosques in the state for noise pollution after numerous warnings to the religious centres to stop the noise.

The affected churches are: The Christ Chosen Church, Onipanu, and The Evangelical Apostolic Church.The affected mosques are Darusalam Mosque at Sabo, Yaba, and Ayegbesin Mosque at Mafoluku, Oshodi.

The people who live around the religious centres reported them and got the state government to do something about it. So please feel free to report noisy churches and mosques around your area to LASEPA. They take noise pollution very seriously...:-)

Thanks.... But the problem is this..... When the so called landlord associations are the ones who attend this churches...and hold prestigious positions, who would join me to report to LASEPA?

When I moved in here last year I asked the existing tenants what has been done I was told they laid complains to the landlord association. the noise reduced for awhile and resumed again.

After a careful observations I discovered the landlord associations patronize them.

The Commissioner for Environment, Lagos State, Mr. Tunji Bello and the General Manager of the Lagos State Environment Protection, LASEPA, Mr Ademola Shabi yesterday in Alausa disclosed that, the State Government shutdown 24 religious houses in year 2014. According to them, the State Government received over 1000 petitions, but 24 has been shut down so far, while most of the religious houses have relocated.

The commissioner also said religious outfits contribute 50% of the noise pollution in the State, and they are working towards shutting down more.

This is an area where our government and the people are failing. While most people are ignorant of the dangers posed by noise pollution, the government is afraid to confront the menace. I raised a petition on change.org to call the attention of our authorities to this malady but Nigerians refused to sign the petition. This monster will destroy the health and peace of our people if something definite is not done as soon as possible.

akoaki:
Please to whom can i report in ogun state?

Please good people viewing this thread.

I want to ask. Is it good for a so called church to be playing music at this hour of the day? A church that has its speakers placed outside the neighbourhood.

As I type this message, I am in my sitting room. I can't sleep because of the noise.

After this noise, by 4.30 5am they will wake up and start shouting on top of their voices commanding people to wake up and come for prayer.....but its not by force na.

Saturdays and Sundays are usually the worse.

But my worry is this....Can't they keep their speakers inside ? Can't they pray on their own without disturbing peoples sleep?

Is this what religion means

I do not mean to insult anyone but I think this isn't right.
