Noibi said she was not guilty of the offence.
The magistrate, Mrs O.M Ajayi admitted the defendant to bail in the sum of N40,000 with one surety in like sum.
The matter was adjourned till November 25.
I think that there is a lot of noise pollution in Nigeria. Prosecuting noise offenders will definitely make a lot of our cities quieter and  more peaceful. What do you reckon?

    Our cities will be quieter if noise offenders are prosecuted. This means the courts in Lagos and Kano especially will be extremely busy soon.

    He noise in Lagos,Kano,Abuja and many other cities in Nigeria is sickening. Something needs to be done to quieten the noise from blarring speakers in churches,mosques and even some vehicles down.

    Yes,the should start with the so called pentecostal churches. Since they are making loads of money off the sweat of their members I'm sure they can afford sound proof buildings.

    Let's not digress. Nigeria is a noisy country,noise is the reason i ran from lagos. Noise pollution & air pollution,it'll be difficult to live long in that state. More people should be sued for disturbing the peace.
