An
Ikeja High Court, Lagos, has urged the Redeemed Christian Church of
God, Chapel of Victory, Ikeja, Lagos, to maintain “zero noise pollution”
while conducting its religious programmes.
A 79-year-old neighbour, Mrs. Esther
Ogunsalu, whose residence shares a common fence with the church located
on 4, Sogunle Street, Abule Onigbagbo Estate, off Mobolaji Bank Anthony
Way, Ikeja, Lagos, had dragged the church before the court for
disturbing her peace.
Ogunsalu, in the case with suit no
LD/1336/2011 filed before Justice Aishat Opesanwo, said the noise
emanating from the church prevents her from sleeping, adding that it
also “triggers her hypertensive heart disease.”
She asked the court to declare that the
continuous occupation and use of the premises as a place of worship
“contravenes the building and town planning regulations of Lagos State.”
However, Opesanwo referred both parties to the Multi-Door Courthouse, Igbosere, Lagos, for mediation.
