The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency, LASEPA, has sealed an additional 10 establishments across the state for repeated violations of environmental regulations, including noise pollution, air pollution and the discharge of untreated effluent.

The enforcement exercise, carried out on Wednesday, July 1, 2026, followed repeated warnings, abatement notices and several opportunities given to the affected businesses to comply with the agency’s directives.

According to the Lagos State Government, the operation was aimed at enforcing environmental laws and protecting public health.

LASEPA said the affected establishments violated various environmental regulations, including noise pollution, air pollution, unlawful discharge of untreated effluent into public drains, obstruction of official duties and continued non-compliance with its directives.

The affected facilities are Granduer Meridian, Ipaja; Lasola (Spazio Bar), Ipaja; Millennium Restaurant, Ayobo; O2 Exquisite Suites & Tower, Akowonjo; Chirozz Hotel & Suites, Egbeda; House 7 Hotel, Egbeda; House 48, Egbeda; Exclusive Hotel, Akesan; Sabola Ventures Limited, Igando; and City Int’l Motel, Idimu.

The agency said Sabola Ventures Limited was sealed for operating without an Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) and discharging untreated effluent into public drains, while some of the other establishments were shut over persistent noise pollution and failure to comply with environmental directives.

The latest enforcement comes barely days after the Lagos State Government sealed 12 establishments across the state over environmental offences, including noise pollution, air pollution, obstruction of official duties and persistent non-compliance with environmental regulations.

Speaking on the operation, the General Manager of LASEPA, Dr. Babatunde Ajayi, reaffirmed the agency’s commitment to protecting public health and preserving the environment through strict enforcement of environmental laws.

“Compliance with environmental regulations is a collective responsibility,” Dr. Ajayi said.

He warned that LASEPA would continue to intensify monitoring and enforcement against individuals and organisations whose activities endanger public health and the environment.

Ajayi also urged business owners, facility operators and residents to adopt environmentally responsible practices, comply with all regulatory requirements and cooperate with the agency in its efforts to build a cleaner, healthier and more sustainable Lagos.
