US government alerts citizens in Nigeria of terror threats, advises them to avoid ‘major hotels’

The United States government has alerted Nigerian citizens of elevated terrorism threats on major hotels in “large cities” in the country.

This was contained in an emergency information for American citizens posted on their website dated November 3, 2023.

According to the advisory, Nigerian security authorities are taking measures to combat the threat.

The U.S. government said it has received credible information indicating an increased threat level to prominent hotels in Nigeria’s major urban centres.

Department of State recommends that U.S. citizens take this information into consideration when arranging accommodations or visiting well-known hotels in Nigeria.

“The U.S. Government is aware of credible information indicating an elevated threat to major hotels in Nigeria’s larger cities,” the advisory stated.

“Nigerian security services are working diligently to counter this threat. The U.S. Department of State advises U.S. citizens to take this information into consideration when arranging lodging or visiting major hotels in Nigeria.”

The advisory also provided the addresses and telephone numbers of the U.S. embassy in Abuja and the consulate in Lagos in case any U.S. citizen requires assistance.

It’s worth noting that in October, the U.S. advised all its citizens worldwide to exercise restraint when travelling to various locations around the world.

Nigeria was categorised under the third tier of caution alerts.
