According to Balogun, the offenders contravened the Environmental and Sanitation Law of Ekiti State 2012.

The church leaders wrote an undertaking that they would henceforth desist from disturbing the peace of their neighbourhoods with a public address system.

Mr Femi Onipede from the Ekiti State Ministry of Justice, was directed to ensure the compliance of the undertaking, in line with the law.
