Lagos State "Shut down" Marina Mosque.

Lagos State Government shut down Marina’s Workers Mosque on Lagos Island, Lagos for
failing to manage its waste properly and also vowed to shut down filthy markets across the state.

The government added that it had declared zero tolerance on environmental nuisance in the state.
While monitoring the October edition of the monthly sanitation exercise in Mainland and Lagos Island Local Governments, Dr. Samuel Adejare (Commissioner for the Environment), stated that any filthy market and motor parks in the state would be shut down indefinitely if they can't put their environment in proper shape.

Adejare said the declaration of non tolerance in Lagos metropolis was to save the state from disaster resulting from unkempt environment.
“That is why we ordered the closure of the mosque for failing to keep clean but discharging effluent in the drainage.

Marina is a pride, asset and our heritage to us. We cannot allow anyone to mess it up. This mosque is a temporary building for worship, but we cannot tolerate improper waste disposal.
“There is no emotional feeling attached to it. We cannot allow that in Central Lagos. You can all see how they discharged their sewage on the road. Even God whom we all serves doesn't  accept that and I will not allow that,” he stated.

He lamented that religious house had violated the state’s environmental law, saying that any outfit that violate the environmental law would not be spared.
