Wednesday, January 22, 2025 - The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) has sealed Ariba Bistro Night Life Entertainment Series, located within Martinos Hotel & Suites on Otunba Jobi Fele Way, Ikeja, following persistent complaints of noise pollution from nearby residents.
The enforcement action, carried out on Tuesday, January 21, was
triggered by ongoing grievances over excessive noise levels, which LASEPA
stated violated the state’s environmental noise regulations despite multiple
warnings and engagements with the establishment’s management.
Dr. Babatunde Ajayi, General Manager of LASEPA, emphasized that
the closure reflects the agency’s dedication to curbing noise pollution and
ensuring public health and safety across Lagos.
He urged entertainment centers to comply with environmental standards to
avoid similar sanctions.
“Noise pollution is a serious environmental concern that affects the
quality of life and public health. The Lagos State Government has zero
tolerance for activities that disrupt the peace and well-being of residents,”
Ajayi remarked.
He further highlighted the health
implications of noise pollution, noting that it contributes to stress, hearing
loss, and sleep disorders.
Ajayi warned other establishments, including
hospitality businesses, event centers, and nightlife venues, to adhere strictly
to Lagos State’s noise regulations or face similar enforcement measures.
“This action serves as a warning to other establishments that disregard
environmental laws,” he added
