Lagos seals Lekki nightclub over noise pollution
A joint enforcement team from the Lagos State Environmental Sanitation Corps and Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) on Monday sealed LightHouse Club located on Admiralty Way, Lekki, over environmental pollution.
This is contained in a tweet by the Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab (@tokunbo_wahab).
Mr Wahab said that the establishment was sealed for violating Lagos State noise pollution regulations, following multiple warnings that were disregarded by the management.
He said that the closure would remain in effect until the club management demonstrates full compliance with environmental standards.
Mr Wahab stated, “This includes implementing proper soundproofing measures and LASEPA confirming their adherence to approved noise levels. We want to make it clear to all entertainment venues across Lagos that our environmental laws are not optional. The rights of residents to peaceful enjoyment of their neighbourhood take precedence over any business interest.’’
