The US has warned its citizens not to visit Nigerian government facilities and military bases unless they have essential duties to perform there.
Citing increasing insecurity in the country the US mission in Nigeria issued the warning.
“Due to increased security concerns arising from current global developments, U.S. Mission Nigeria informs U.S. citizens that all U.S. embassy employees and their families are prohibited from non-official travel to a Nigerian military site or other government venue in Abuja at this time,” a statement by the US mission said.
The U.S. Mission further warned American citizens in Nigeria to “Stay alert in public places, with particular attention to locations and venues where Westerners, expatriates, and government officials frequent.”
It added, “Avoid large gatherings and consider limiting unnecessary travel. Avoid predictable routines. Familiarise yourself with emergency exits when you enter buildings. Review your personal security plans.”
