The management of the Jabi Lake Mall in the Utako area of Abuja says it will be shutting down operations on Thursday amid security threats in the Federal Capital Territory..

In a post on the mall’s Instagram page @jabilakemallnigeria, the management revealed that it was reviewing the security situation with relevant authorities and that the mall would be reopened as soon as possible.

The post read, “To all our valued shoppers, Jabi Lake Mall will be closed today, Thursday, 27 October 2022. This decision has been taken in the overall interest of the safety of all staff and customers of the mall.
