The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) on Wednesday intensified its crackdown on environmental violations by sealing off several establishments across the state over noise pollution and other infractions considered harmful to public health and safety.

The enforcement exercise, which took place on April 30, covered multiple areas including Ogba, Oko Oba, Orile Agege, Dopemu, Abule Egba, Ifako Ijaiye, and Alagbado.

A wide range of facilities—spanning religious centers, hospitality businesses, and service-based outfits—were affected during the operation. Establishments sealed by LASEPA includes Maxx-M Square, King Nico Hotel & Event Center, 10:45 Hotel, C2C Meridian Integrated Hotel, Globacom Mast (sanctioned), Celestial Church of Christ, NextBest Bar, Assemblies of God Church, Peculiar God’s Glory International Ministry, and Primemart Superstore.

General Manager of LASEPA, Dr. Babatunde Ajayi, reaffirmed the agency’s zero-tolerance policy towards environmental violations, particularly noise pollution.

“Noise pollution and similar breaches affect the health and tranquility of our communities. Today’s enforcement effort demonstrates our commitment to ensuring compliance and promoting public well-being,” he said.

Dr. Ajayi urged all businesses and organizations operating in Lagos to strictly adhere to environmental regulations, warning that the agency remains committed to fostering a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable environment for all residents.
