The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency, (LASEPA) has clamped
down of some mosques and churches for persistent environmental
pollution and disruption of public peace.
They are located at 68, Old Otta Rd, Orile Agege; 4, Ademola Oshinowo
Street Ketu; Dele Amuda Street Lekki; 17, Ajileye Str, Ilaje Bariga;
39, Kusenla Road Elegunshi; Ajayi Bembe Street; Abule-Oja, Yaba among
others.
LASEPA General Manager Dr Dolapo Fasawe said there is no hiding place
for any religious organisation that cannot operate within the ambit of
the law, regardless of their faith inclinations.
She said mutual respect of views, culture and religion must be adhered to by all residents.
Religious organisations, she said, are supposed to be the bastion of
good conduct, tolerance, brotherliness and godly neighborliness.
Dr. Fasawe assured residents that LASEPA will not rest on its oars in
bequeathing a livable ambiance to all inhabitants, stressing that those
recalcitrant organisations or worship centres known to be disturbing
the peace of Lagosians would face the full wrath of the law.
She maintained that 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.
Recalling the inundating petitions and outcry from residents over the
insensitivity and intolerance of some religious outlets in different
areas, the LASEPA boss regrettably noted that several warnings issued to
the management of these churches and mosques had not yielded the
expected result.
“The government recognises the fact that the state thrives on
peaceful co-existence among practitioners of the major religions, but of
great concern to the government is the need for religious activities to
be conducted in a manner that worshippers and citizens would not
infringe on each other’s rights,” she said.
According to her, the illegal and unauthorised conversion of
residential properties for religious use without recourse to the
wellbeing of other residents is of great concern to the present
administration under the Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu.
Dr. Fasawe explained that for the facilities to be reopened, the
leaders of these organisations must reach an agreement of compliance
with the agency and also satisfy other necessary conditions as may be
prescribed by LASEPA.
She further warned ownership and management of sealed off properties
to desist from unsealing same behind the government as serious
consequences awaited such unlawful act.
