Lagos seals RCCG parish for indiscriminate wastewater discharge
The Lagos state wastewater management office has sealed off the administrative and kitchen complex of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Jesus Sanctuary, Masha, Surulere, Lagos.
The commissioner for environment and water resources, Tokunbo Wahab, made the disclosure on his official X handle on Saturday.
The agency took the action against the church for indiscriminately discharging wastewater into the environment, as it continues its zero tolerance against acts negating its efforts to ensure a cleaner Lagos.

According to the commissioner, the agency enforced the provisions of the Environmental Management and Protection Law 2017 against the church, after receiving complaints from concerned residents in the area about the act.
The commissioner said, “Following a public complaint received from concerned residents, the Lagos State Wastewater Management Office @lswmomedia in enforcing the provisions of the Environmental Management and Protection Law 2017, sealed off the administrative and kitchen complex of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG) Jesus Sanctuary, Masha, Surulere, Lagos for indiscriminate discharge of wastewater into the environment.
“Illegal discharge of wastewater into the environment endangers the lives of citizens as it leads to soil pollution and groundwater contamination; causing waterborne diseases such as cholera, dysentery, and diarrhoea.
Mr Wahab said the agency encouraged Lagosians “to desist from such acts and report all illegal activities leading to the pollution of the environment.”
