Nigerian Lady reports RCCG to LASEPA for noise pollution

Meanwhile, Legit.ng reported that a Nigerian lady reported a worship centre of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) to the LASEPA over noise pollution.

The lady, identified as Oreoluwa, disclosed this in a tweet on Saturday, January 28, where she heaved a sigh of relief that the agency had given her a call with the promise to address the problem.

When contacted, Oreoluwa told Legit.ng that frustration drove her to report the church to the agency. She noted that the church held three services a week, and the noise from the building made it difficult for her to take calls or sleep.
