The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency, LASEPA, has on Monday, sealed some establishments over noise and air pollution in the Ifako-Ijaiye and Igando areas of the state.
According to a post made on the agency’s X handle on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, the following were sealed; Cherubim and Seraphim (King of Kings) Church in Georgius Cole Estate, Ifako-Ijaiye (for noise pollution); 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.
The post read in part;
“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.”
“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”.
