The Lagos State Government said it has sealed off Ile Iyan, a popular eatery located at Isaac John Street, Ikeja GRA over noise pollution and other environmental infractions.

Commissioner for Environment and Water Resources, Tokunbo Wahab disclosed this in an X post on Friday.

He said that the enforcement exercise was carried out by the Lagos State Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources through Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA).

The commissioner said the exercise followed complaints by residents and neighbours and the unbecoming behaviour of the eatery’s operators.

Wahab said, “Based on the complaint from residents and neighbours and the seeming recalcitrant behaviour of the operators, Lagos State Ministry of the Environment and Water Resources through LASEPA sealed off Ile Iyan on Isaac John Street, GRA Ikeja over noise pollution and other environmental infractions.

“The state shall not succumb to any form of anyhowness and lawlessness no matter who is involved.”
