The location of buildings whose activities generate loud noise around residential areas are the focus of attention of the government of the African francophone country of Benin Republic.


Reports have it that the government frowns at the noise pollution resulting from the activities of these buildings in and around residential areas in the country, thus ordering the closure of these buildings.


About 300 Celestial parishes will be affected if the proposal goes through, says Alfred Haastrup, a clergy of the Church familiar with the development.


In a Facebook post, Haastrup asked the Church's Board of Trustees to resolve the matter with the government, as the order will be catastrophic for the Church and countries neighbouring the francophone country.


He mentioned in the post that, "something needs to be done now before over 300 parishes, shepherds and families affected will flood Nigeria and other neighboring countries considering the security situations in Africa."
