There is a high threat of terrorism in Nigeria.

The main terrorist threat in northern Nigeria comes from the Islamist extremist group Boko Haram.
Attacks could be indiscriminate, including government and security institutions, international organisations as well as public areas such as markets, hotels, shopping centres, places of worship and other areas frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.
Boko Haram aspires to establish Islamic law in Nigeria and has carried out mass casualty attacks, including the co-ordinated attacks in Kano City on 20 January which killed 185 people.
Boko Haram publicly declared its loyalty to Al Qaeda in 2010 and has aligned itself to the jihadist ideology. The attack against the UN building in Abuja in August 2011, which killed 23 people shows that international and western interests could be targeted.
MEND (Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta) is a militant group seeking to assume control of Nigeria's energy resources in the Niger Delta region.
A faction of the group was responsible for the 1 October 2010 attack in Abuja, demonstrating an ability and willingness of this faction to operate away from their usual base in the south.
On 6 February 2012, MEND threatened to carry out renewed attacks on major oil and gas assets in the Niger Delta.

Recent Attacks:

There is a threat of kidnapping throughout Nigeria for financial, political or criminal motives.

Recent kidnappings of Westerners include:

•On 26 January 2012 a Germannational was kidnapped in Kano.
•On 12 May 2011 a British national was kidnapped in Kebbi State alongside an Italian national. Both hostages were killed in Sokoto on 8 March 2012.
•On 22 June 2010 a British national was kidnapped in Abuja and was subsequently released on 25 June 2010.
Since January 2007, we are aware of at least 24 British nationals and more than 200 other foreign nationals who have been kidnapped in the Niger Delta area, with one British national being killed.
Two British nationals kidnapped in September 2008 were held for a number of months. One was released in April 2009 and one in June 2009.
Although there have been no reported kidnaps of Britons in the Niger Delta in the past year the threat remains.
A US National was kidnapped in January 2012.
You should be aware that the long-standing policy of the British Government is not to make substantive concessions to hostage takers.
The British Government considers that paying ransoms and releasing prisoners increases the risk of further hostage-taking. (Point is you are on your own??)
•
Violent Street Crimes

Violent Street crimes e.g. muggings, kidnappings, car-jackings and especially armed robberies continue at high levels in the south of the country including Lagos.
Avoid carrying large amounts of cash and wearing valuable watches, jewellery or items of sentimental value.
Remain alert to your surroundings and the actions of local people around you. If you suspect danger, move away to a safer area. Do not try to resist.
There have been a number of robberies and kidnappings in Abia, Edo and Anambra States, in the latter particularly along the Enugu-Awka-Onitsha expressway.
•
Fraud Scams

• Foreign nationals are frequently defrauded by scam artists. The scams come in many forms, and can pose great financial loss to victims.
•
Travel In Nigeria

Serious traffic jams in Lagos are not uncommon. Short journeys that normally take minutes can sometimes take hours.
Public transport is dangerous. Taxis and long distance buses are poorly maintained and are often uninsured and driven by fraudulent drivers.
We advise you to take a mobile telephone with you when travelling by car so that you can stay in touch with family, friends and employers.
We also advise you to have a supply of bottled water in your vehicle at all times.
•
Homosexuality

Homosexuality is illegal under Federal law, covering the whole of Nigeria.
Nigeria has the largest Muslim population in sub-Saharan Africa. You should exercise discretion in behaviour and dress, particularly in the north and during the Holy month of Ramadan and when visiting religious sites.
•
Nigeria's Economy

Nigeria is a cash economy.
You should ensure that you bring enough currency (Sterling, US Dollars or Euros) to cover your costs.
Travellers' cheques are difficult to cash in Nigeria.
We advise against the use of credit cards throughout Nigeria.

•
Your Health - Comprehensive Medical Insurance

Basic, limited medical facilities are available in some parts of Nigeria.
Malaria is very common in Nigeria and it is estimated that 25% of all malaria cases in the world happen in Nigeria.
It is estimated that 3.1 million Nigerians are living with HIV.
Lassa Fever, a serious rat-borne viral disease is present in Nigeria. This caused over 40 deaths. The states affected were Lagos, Edo, Nassawara, Plateau, Taraba, Orido, Rivers, Gombe, Anambra and Delta.
You should seek medical advice, take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance including a provision for medical evacuation before travelling to Nigeria and ensure that all appropriate vaccinations are up to date.
