IT HAPPENING!!! Lagos Shutdown Eight Churches, Mosques Over Excessive Noise


Eight houses of worship were on Sunday, November 17, shutdown by the Lagos State Government over concerns about the effects of noise pollution from them on residents' health.

The state's Environmental Protection Agency which conducted the closure said houses of worship that fail to operate by set regulations would suffer the same fate.

The sealed facilities are located at 68, Old Ota Road, Orile Agege; 4, Ademola Oshinowo Street, Off Love Street, Ketu; 1 Dele Amuda Street, Lekki.

Others are 17, Ajileye Street, Ilaje Bariga; 39, Kusenla Road, Elegushi and Ajayi Bembe Street Abule Oja, Yaba, among others.

“Those recalcitrant organisations or worship centres, known to be disturbing the peace of Lagos residents, will face the full wrath of the law, said Dr Dolapo Fasawe, General Manager, Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency.

“In as much as the state government is positively disposed to the peaceful conduct of religion of choice by its citizens, it does not condone infringements on the rights of other residents in the name of religious activities.

“The agency is inundated with petitions and outcry from residents over the insensitivity and intolerance of some religious outlets in different parts of the state.

“LASEPA regrettably notes that several warnings issued to the management of these centres have not yield the result. 

“But of great concern to the state government is the need for religious activities to be conducted in a manner that worshippers will not infringe on others’ rights."

However, some celebrity fights did go down and they were notable indeed. A number of these fights were one-sided as the other parties paid little or no attention to the unnecessary bants. This made it easier for these fights to actually fizzle out quickly. Here are five of them. These are the top five celebrity fights we witnessed in 2018. 1.
