Obiagelli:
Hi naptu2, do you think this is routine
It's not the first time it's happening. That road was also closed sometime in 2003 and a Saxon Armoured Car was used to block the entrance because the Americans and Isrealis got information that American and Isreali interests in Lagos were going to be attacked (a Saxon Armoured Car was also stationed at Mega Plaza).


There was also increased security in May last year when the US got info that US interests in Lagos (including the consulate and one of the Sheraton hotels) were going to be attacked. The US consulate was closed for a few days.

The consulates on that road were also closed in 2005 following a threat that was made over the phone, but the street was still open to motorists.

There were no incidents in any of these three previous occasions.

I think it's just a precautionary measure.

huh
Op you're filming military men on duty...thereby constituting a security risk...
sorry will be your name when or if you're caught
Serious risk I tell you. If they mistake OP for a terrorist (spying on them) he will never try this in his life again.

What happened to sophisticated machines that were surposed to be used in security situations like this. They are making life discomforting for the masses. Really it's an underdeveloped country. What a pity. In makavelli's words "i see no changes".

Its 9/11 anniversary. They r taking precaution to avert another attack on US embassy
Re: PHOTOS: Army Floods Lagos Street This Morning by Bishop(m): 12:31pm On Sep 11, 2015
There has been an ongoing security concern all over the world that Islamic Extremist are etching a sinister plan to perpetuate a devastating attack on Foreigners and thier business concerns which include Shopping complexes,embassies and areas that has large concentration of foreigners.

Reports have it that they are trying to use it to celebrate the 911 attack on US.

What bothers me so much is that the same extraction of extremist are all over Europe seeking for Asylum having destroyed their homeland with madness that has not been unmatched since world war II

Today is 9/11 na so security needs to be heightened..why is the report saying reason is unknown
Re: PHOTOS: Army Floods Lagos Street This Morning by Tex42(m): 1:16pm On Sep 11, 2015
I know Nigerians /Nairalanders will play politics with this as usual, forgetting that an explosion won't spare the APC supports and kill the PDP's, and vice versa. This is the time to be more vigilant, security is not the sole responsibility of the President, soldiers, police, etc. But ours too.

We should be concerned about the casualties if bokoharam should carry out a successful attack in Lagos and not the likes/shares and points we register on here. The lives of our friends, neighbours, and Nigerians are worth more than these two parties put together.

This is the time for us to unite and not divide...

No time for partisanship

Men of the Nigerian Army are currently at Walter Carrington Crescent, where the American, British, Indian, France, German, Spain, Lebanon and so many other embassies are located.

At the moment, there is a stand still on Ozumba Mbadiwe which is the road leading to the street. No one or car is allowed to go into that particular street. This has caused a lot of traffic. The Army have not disclosed why they are there, but citizens have been discussing it in a low tone that it’s due to a boko haram threat. Officially, the reason for their action is still unknown. See more photos below.

I've visited many blogs but I've never visited a blog that completely covers everything I need. I was surfing the net when I stumbled on this blog. At first, I was'nt optimistic about what I was gonna find inside but after I visited it for the first time. I couldn't stop but visit it over and over again everyday. I've decided not to be selfish, so I'm gonna let you visit it too and have the fun that I had.

This shows how poorly informed you are, no offence meant.

It's not supposed to be a covert (secret) operation, otherwise the army wouldn't make themselves noticable on the streets where even boko haram members can sight them from afar. . . People are free to take pictures, those who are afraid are not forced to do so.
