UK Warns Against Travel To 21 States by Omooba77: 9:32pm On Jun 18, 2019 |
The Foreign and Commonwealth Office of the United Kingdom has warned British nationals against travelling to about 21 states in Nigeria over security concerns. The travel warning posted on its website and updated on Monday, stemmed from the worsening security situation occasioned by the Boko Haram terrorists attacks in the North East, armed banditry in the North-West and militancy in the South-South. Specifically, the FCO advised against all travels to Borno; Yobe; Adamawa; Gombe; and the riverine areas of Delta, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Cross River states. The British government also cautioned against trips to within 20km of the border with Niger and Zamfara states. The FCO further advised against all but essential travel to Bauchi, Zamfara, Kano, Jigawa, Katsina, Kogi and within 20km of the border with Niger in Sokoto and Kebbi states including the non-riverine areas of Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers and Abia States. The advisory admonished British nationals to avoid crowds including political meetings, religious gatherings and places of worship, markets, shopping malls, hotels, bars, restaurants, transport hubs and camps for displaced persons. “Attacks could be indiscriminate and could affect western interests as well as places visited by tourists. Besides Abuja, other major towns and cities remain particularly at risk, including Kano and Kaduna,” it stated. The FCO noted that there was a high threat of kidnap throughout the country, adding that abductions could be motivated by criminality or terrorism, and could be carried out for financial or political gain. It stated, “The security environment in the northeast has deteriorated since 2018 and there is a heightened risk of kidnap. “There is also a high threat of criminal kidnap in the Niger Delta region and Kogi State. If you travel to areas to which the FCO advise against travel, you are particularly at risk and will need a high level of security.” https://punchng.com/uk-warns-against-travel-to-21-states/ 12 Likes 3 Shares |

UK media is the worst in the world But I don't really blame them, when you have an incompetent, unrepentant terrorist piloting the affairs of a nation, it's best and believable to tell your country people to avoid that place. Buhari have caused more harm than good to this country, let God save us through the judiciary because 4 years with this sick despotic bastard will be a disaster 223 Likes 20 Shares |

UK media can be funny at times.. How can they place Akwa Ibom, Cross river, Delta and Abia state..side to side with some Northern states? So only Lagos and Abuja and every western state is safe? 20 Likes 2 Shares |

That's more than half of Nigeria. Buhari is the best President Nigeria has ever had. Nigeria now so secure,foreigners are now advised to travel to just 15 states,even being advised against some South South states. Buhari is a failure without any redeeming feature. Anyone that says Buhari is not an irreedeemable failure is a compound f ool. 85 Likes 7 Shares |

. This is completely sad and hopeless. The President doesn't seem bothered, neither do the police or military chiefs. Nigeria is in such a helpless situation, the President and Security chiefs have invented an imaginary version of Nigeria in their heads. In this version, which is far from reality, Nigeria is a safe, prosperous eldorado. As long as they are fine in their imaginary world, the citizens are doing well in the real world. 56 Likes 3 Shares |

Till baffles me how the IGP can boldly claim that crime rate has dropped drastically when its on the rise on a daily. Just very unfortunate how we ended up here. Stagnant and the situation keeps getting worse. One has to take flights at all times to avoid road attacks. With this kind of information, how do you want to attract investment in the agricultural and tourism sector. In fact all sectors of the economy are at risks. This is just sad. 19 Likes 2 Shares |
