The Lagos State Environmental Protection Agency (LASEPA) on Sunday shut down Donald’s Lounge, located in Lekki Phase 1 and owned by celebrity Pascal Okechukwu, popularly known as Cubana Chief Priest, due to excessive noise pollution.

The shutdown order was issued by the Commissioner for the Environment and Water Resources, Mr. Tokunbo Wahab, who emphasized that the action was taken in the interest of public health.

The decision followed repeated warnings after numerous complaints from residents and nearby businesses regarding the persistent noise levels from the lounge, which had been disturbing the peace of the area.
