The headquarters of the
Lord’s Chosen Charismatic Revival Movement, along the Apapa – Oshodi Expressway
in Lagos has been sealed off by the LASG for gross environmental abuse.
The church was sealed off
in order to prevent an outbreak of epidemic, as well as protect the lives of
its worshippers. An inspection of the church’s environment revealed that solid
waste generated was not properly disposed of. It was openly burning waste on
the church premises, exposing the lives of its worshipers to health hazards.
All the church toilets were built on the canal, thereby enabling the deliberate
discharge of raw human wastes into it.
The Commissioner for the Environment,
Mr. Tunji Bello said the church would only be reopened after all nuisances had
been abated, complete sanitisation of the entire church environment; a proper
facility for the disposal of solid waste must be put in place; new toilet
facilities built and proper evacuation of the human and solid wastes dumped
into the canal. The church is also expected to remove all structures built on
the drainage channel.
