The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency, LASEPA, has sealed off several establishments, including churches, hotels, bars, and other businesses, for failing to comply with the state’s environmental laws.
The operation which covered areas such as Mushin, Amuwo Odofin, and Okota Isolo, was part of ongoing efforts to address noise pollution and other environmental violations across Lagos.
LASEPA confirmed this in a statement on its verified X handle on Thursday.
It said the establishments were found guilty of breaching environmental regulations despite multiple warnings from LASEPA.
The statement said, “In a decisive move to combat noise pollution and other environmental violations, the Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) sealed several establishments across the state.
