-Deeper Life Condemns Demolition of Properties In Lagos
The Deeper Life Bible Church condemns the alleged demolition of its properties in various parts of Lagos State by government agencies.
The church accused the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority (LAMATA), Lagos State Building Control Agency (LASBCA), and Surulere Local Government of targeting its properties for demolition without due process.
“Over the past months, our church has faced an unsettling pattern of interference from certain state agencies, resulting in harassment, threats of demolition, and restrictions on our places of worship and community centers,” the statement read.

The church said its branches in Yaba, Olorunishola, and Lawanson were demolished by the Lagos Metropolitan Area Transport Authority, Lagos State Building Control Agency, and the Surulere Local Government respectively.
“These actions not only infringe on the rights of our congregation but also raise serious concerns about religious freedom, property rights, and due process in Lagos State,” it added.
“Deeper Life Bible Church has always abided by the law and promoted peace among all communities. These recent developments, however, necessitate urgent attention to prevent further erosion of public trust and religious harmony.
“We remain committed to our mission of spiritual growth, humanitarian service, and social development. We will not be deterred by these challenges and are prepared to explore all legal avenues to uphold our rights and preserve our sanctuaries.”
