The United Kingdom government has given fresh security advice to its citizens living in Nigeria or planning to travel to the country.
The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) of the United Kingdom in its updated foreign advisory urged its citizens to avoid at least 12 states in Nigeria while stressing that some other states should be travelled to if it is only essential.
This came just two weeks after the UK issued an earlier warning of possible terrorists attack on the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
The FCDO in the updated advisory published on its site said: “The FCDO no longer advises against all but essential travel to the Federal Capital Territory, including the city of Abuja, but risks remain, and further details about the continued threat from terrorism in this region has been added. The FCDO advice against travelling to other areas of Nigeria remains in place.
“The FCDO advises against all travel to Borno State, Yobe, Adamawa, Gombe, Kaduna, Katsina, Zamfara, and the riverine areas of Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Cross River states.
“The FCDO advises against all but essential travel to Bauchi State, Kano Jigawa, Niger, Sokoto, Kogi, within 20km of the border with Niger in Kebbi State, Abia, non-riverine areas of Delta, Bayelsa and Rivers states, Plateau, and Taraba states.”
