    NOISE POLLUTION, READ. If you are in Lagos, and any group of people are disturbing you with noise, be it church, mosque, clubs or others. I have reported several churches in my area, causing noise pollution to LASEPA, and the noise pollution stopped. Get video evidence and the correct address of the place causing noise pollution and send to LASEPA, get their email online
