The National Security Adviser (NSA) office
has issued a disturbing alert that Boko Haram insurgents plot to launch
attacks in Lagos.
Specifically, in Lagos seaports, Vanguard reports.
The alert was made after the US Embassy had lamented over the security situation at the sea ports. The notice triggered the increase in the level of security checks and imposition of additional restrictions.
Port Facility Security Officer Forum on its part ordered the body members to enhance surveillance and limit access to the premises.
An increased number of clearing agents have been observed at the Nigerian Ports Authority since last week.
Zeb Ikokide, the Forum vice chairman, warned Customs to stop delaying cargoes at the gates, noting that all the work with documentation should be finished before the items reach the exit gate.
Olayiwola Shittu, Customs official, urged Nigerian to be vigilant and assist security agencies in ensuring safet at the ports.
A suspected Boko Haram member, Abdullahi Adamu, has been recently arrested in Ijora area of Lagos on a tip-off from the locals. The man confessed to belonging to the terrorist organisation.
