The headquarters of the Lord’s Chosen and Charismatic Revival Church
on Ijesha, Oshodi-Apapa Expressway, Lagos, were sealed off by the Lagos
State Government over environmental nuisance.
The Officials of the Ministry of the Environment shut
down the Church in the morning of on October 6, 2013, and prevented the
worshippers from having their Sunday service usually attended by
thousands of faithfuls.
Investigations revealed that the Church does not have solid waste
disposal facility. It burns its waste inside the Church premises,
thereby exposing the lives of its worshippers to serious health hazard.
A substantial part of the sprawling Church lies on the Odo Asimawu
Canal drainage channel, thereby impeding the flow of storm water.
The Church also built its toilets on the canal, thereby discharging all its human waste into the canal.
In order to prevent an outbreak of epidemic, the state government had to seal the entire Church premises.
