Port and former capital of Nigeria on the Bight of Benin (5)

I believe the answer is:

lagos

(Other definitions for lagos that I've seen before include "Formerly capital of Nigeria" , "African port" , "African city" , "Largest city and once capital of Nigeria" , "Strange goals of the Nigerian port" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
