In a video he posted on TikTok, the lawyer, @law.parlour.001, said some churches have numerous loudspeakers even though the members are few.

His words:

"So you people that will go and set up a church in a residential area. A place where people are living and you will be doing night vigils three times in a week and you will be making noise and a small church of only 11 people, you people have 15 speakers. You don't know that what you are doing, you are constituting a nuisance? You are praising God at a time when I want to sleep. And you are disturbing my peaceful enjoyment of my compound. That is against the law."
