Lagos Shuts Down Church Over Noise Pollution Complaints

The Lagos State Government has sealed The All Christians Gathering Ministry in Surulere, following repeated complaints of late-night noise pollution that disrupted residents’ sleep, according to multiple reports.

According to Vanguard News, the church was shut on Sunday after an investigation established that its activities violated environmental regulations and caused noise pollution.

Punch Newspapers also reported the incident, stating that the church was sealed by Lagos State environmental officials.

It is not clear when the church will be allowed to reopen, as the Lagos State Government has not yet issued a statement on the matter.

This is not the first time a place of worship has been shut down in Lagos due to noise pollution complaints. In 2021, a mosque in the Ikoyi area was closed down for similar reasons.
