The government of Lagos State has shut 70 churches and 20
mosques in an attempt to reduce high noise levels. About 10 hotels, pubs and
club houses were also closed.
Lagos has a population of around 20 million, with
correspondents saying noise - from the beep of car horns, to the Muslim
call to prayer and the singing in churches - being its soundtrack.
In August, the authorities closed 22 premises after
residents complained about the noise emanating from them.
