The capital of Nigeria, Abuja, has been targeted by terrorist attacks in the past, and the United States and the United Kingdom have issued alerts about this possibility.
The American embassy in Nigeria warned that terrorist attacks, notably in Abuja, were becoming more likely.
She continued by mentioning that other locations under risk include shopping malls, police stations, and the offices of international organisations.
The American Embassy in Nigeria issued a warning to its nationals, stating that it will scale back its services until further notice.
The embassy recommended being alert, avoiding crowds, and avoiding needless travel or movement.
The UK government, for its part, warned British residents in Nigeria to exercise caution due to the elevated risk of a terrorist attack in the nation’s capital, Abuja.
She claimed in a statement that the attacks might be arbitrary and might have an impact on Western interests as well as popular tourist destinations.
She continued by saying that “Boko Haram” or ISIS in West Africa (ISWA) is primarily responsible for the attacks, which mostly take place in the northeastern regions of Borno, Yobi, and Adamawa.
Other states, like as Gomebe, Kano, Kadona, Plateau, Pochi, and Taraaba, also saw significant attacks.
ISIS carried out many strikes in Koji, Niger, and the vicinity of the federal capital between May and July 2022, and other attacks are probably forthcoming.
She urged her citizens to pay attention to local news and security officials’ guidance.
She stated that in the past, gathering places for people to congregate in public included places of worship, markets, shops, hotels, bars, restaurants, football watch areas, relocation camps, and train stations, in addition to government buildings, security, educational institutions (schools, colleges, and all additional education universities Regular goals), and international organisations.
She emphasised that the attacks happened in public or populated venues, including places of worship, right after religious and civic holidays and during election seasons.
