I'm sorry but I just can't help feeling something is not right here.
I've been in and out of Lagos on and off for years and well aware of the inadequacies of the controllers but didn't think they were that stupid. In fact I think they did a good job all things considered.
What about proceeding heavy a/c and which runway were they cleared to land on?
Down there if you wanted an A/C taken out, getting them to land on the wrong/disused runway would be as good a way as any.
