Landcraft Industries Nigeria, located in Odogunyan, was shut down due to severe environmental pollution.

The agency also sealed the Word of Light Christ Ministry (Camp of Light), based in Oriokuta for persistent noise pollution.

The enforcement operation led by Babatunde Gbenga, Deputy Director of the Enforcement Department, underscores the agency’s commitment to upholding the State Environmental Laws of 2017.

“This seal-off demonstrates LASEPA’s unwavering commitment to safeguarding the environment and public health,” Ajayi stated.

He emphasised the agency’s readiness to take stringent measures against any establishment failing to comply with environmental regulations.

Ajayi urged all industries and establishments in Lagos State to prioritize environmental sustainability and adhere strictly to regulations to avoid similar actions.
