Christians in the Nigerian state of Lagos have called for a relaxing of noise pollution laws, saying they infringe on their freedom to worship, reports Ecumenical News International. "By dictating the time, period and frequency of worship services to religious worship centres, this policy infringes on the rights of citizens to freedom of thought, conscience and religion guaranteed by the constitution of the country," the Lagos state chapter of the Christian Association of Nigeria said in a letter to the state assembly made available to ENInews. Based on the noise policy, the association said the state Environmental Protection Agency has closed down more than seven churches which were reopened on the payment of a 10 000 naira (US$66) and a written agreement to curb noise levels.
