The Lagos State Government has sealed the All Christians
Gathering Ministry church in Surulere following repeated complaints of
late-night noise pollution from local residents.
Officials shut down the church, located at No. 1 Ishola
Street, off Clegg Street, hours after an aggrieved resident posted a formal
complaint on the social media platform X on Saturday, November 7.
In the social media post, which was accompanied by video
evidence recorded around 1:31 AM, the resident highlighted how the loud
disruptions made it impossible for nearby neighbors to sleep.
“Dear @tokunbo_wahab, It’s 1:31 a.m., and I can’t
sleep. They’ve started again. I’m trying not to put the address out for
Security reasons, but I can provide necessary details in a chat, call or email
when you give me a go ahead. It’s getting louder, and I think it’s deliberate.”

Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab, announced that
