Checks by Sunday Independent at the weekend showed that the NYSC orientation camp, located along Ipaja Road, in Agege area of Lagos, has been under close watch by security agents.
Operatives of the State Security Service (SSS), police officers from Elere police station in Agege, Lagos, and members of War Against Indiscipline in the state, our correspondent observed, now keep permanent security checks at the camp both day and night.
Not wanting to be caught off guards, the NYSC management in state recently pasted a notice at the main gate of the camp, ordering petty traders to stay away.
An official at the camp, who spoke off records with Sunday Independent on Saturday, said though it is pretty difficult for Boko Haram to hit Lagos, the notice is to guard against the invasion of some members of the Islamic sect, who may disguise as petty traders, to hit the camp.
A police officer, sighted at the main gate of the camp, said that in addition to officers deployed to the place from Elere police station, officers from the Lagos State Police Command Headquarters in Ikeja, are always there to provide back-up in case of any eventualities.
