Omo, this one is loud—literally! The Lagos State Government has reportedly sealed a church following complaints from residents about excessive noise, especially at night.
The General Manager of the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA), Tunde Ajayi, announced the move on X, sharing photos of the sealed church with a simple caption: “Sealed.”
According to reports, a resident identified as @SoftLifeAlhaja had raised concerns about the church’s loud services, making it difficult for people to sleep.
Despite previous warnings, the noise allegedly continued—until the authorities stepped in.
E choke! Should churches be allowed to operate in residential areas without soundproofing?
