The Lord’s Chosen Church Headquarters shut Down by Lagos State Govt.

The Lord’s Chosen and Charismatic Revival Church Headquarters has been sealed off by Lagos State Government for allegedly constituting nuisance to the environment.

The church is located at Ijesha on Oshodi-Apapa Expressway in Lagos, and was shut down on Sunday Oct. 6th by officials of the Ministry of Environment preventing thousands of worshipers from having their Sunday service that morning.

The Commissioner for the Environment, Mr. Tunji Bello, explained why the Church was shut down
  “The Church does not have proper sanitary system and they discharge their wastes into the canal. Most of their members trade on the expressway and we don’t want that" he said

He also said the church had a habit of burning its refuse inside the church, an action that is against the environmental and sanitation law of the state. He said the church will be re-opened only after it builds new toilets, build a sewage septic tank for the treatment of waste water, remove all illegal attachments built on drainage channels, keep the environment clean and ensure that none of its members trade on the expressway.
