US Issues Security Alert for Citizens in Abuja

The United States Embassy in Abuja has issued a security alert warning American citizens to avoid non-essential visits to military and government facilities in the capital. The advisory follows global security developments that have led to stricter safety measures.

Embassy staff and their families are now restricted from accessing these sensitive locations unless on official duty. U.S. citizens in Nigeria are urged to stay vigilant, avoid large gatherings, and be cautious in areas frequented by expatriates and government personnel.

The embassy also advised Americans to keep emergency plans updated, remain unpredictable in routines, and stay aware of building exits.
