Boko Haram Plans To Attack Lagos Seaports - NSA

 

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.
