The United States Embassy has warned its citizens in Nigeria against travelling on the airport road in Abuja.

The warning came after suspected terrorists attacked Kuje prison and freed inmates on Tuesday.

Also, United Kingdom citizens were warned not to be cautious of travelling to 19 states in Nigeria.

Among the states are Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, Gombe, Kaduna, Katsina, Zamfara and riverine areas of Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Cross River.

They were advised to only embark on essential travel to Bauchi, Kano, Jigawa , Niger, Sokoto, Kogi, within 20km of the border with Niger in Kebbi State, Abia and non-riverine areas of Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Plateau, and Taraba.

In a statement on Wednesday, titled, ‘Abuja FCT prison break near the airport on July 5, 2022’, the US Embassy noted that crime has become endemic throughout Nigeria.

The statement read, “On the night of July 5, 2022, an attack on Kuje Prison freed a large portion of the estimated 1,000 prisoners. The prison lies approximately 27 miles southwest of the Central Business District.
An increase in crime is expected in and around Abuja. It is recommended that U.S. citizens should maintain a high state of personal security awareness for the next two weeks and avoid unnecessary travel on the airport road.

“Crime is endemic throughout Nigeria and tends to spike after dark. Avoiding locations and situations that increase the likelihood of being victimized is the best defence. Avoid displays of valuables and limit nighttime activity.

“Terrorist groups and those inspired by such organizations are intent on attacking U.S. citizens abroad. Terrorists are increasingly using less sophisticated methods of attack –including knives, firearms, and vehicles – to target crowds more effectively. Frequently, their aim is focused on unprotected or vulnerable targets, such as:

“High-profile public events (sporting contests, political rallies, demonstrations, holiday events, celebratory gatherings, etc.), hotels, clubs, and restaurants frequented by tourists, places of worship, schools, parks, shopping malls and markets and public transportation systems (including subways, buses, trains, and scheduled commercial flights).

“Actions to take: Be aware of your surroundings, Keep a low profile, carry proper identification, monitor local media for updates, review your personal security plans, always drive with your windows rolled up and the doors locked, and avoid large gatherings and protests, review alternative travel routes in case of unexpected protests or unrest, exercise caution if unexpectedly in the vicinity of large gatherings or protests, always keep the doors to your residence locked, even when at home.”

Funny news

Where are all those sycophants that protested against GEJ & called him clueless. Now the level of insecurity has more than trippled but they've all lost their voice.

This is one of the reasons Nigerians should ask APC why they should be voted back to power !

Since I was born, this is the worst Nigeria I have ever seen !

Apc under Buhari has destroyed Nigeria, that's how God would destroy them including PDP bcs they are birds of the same feathers !

Buhari will not go score free for all the atrocities he allowed to be committed under his watch, he will pay dearly for it.

Shame, but this is actually what Nigeria should also be doing after every gun attack in the US. They're not superior to us.

Another achievement of the Buhari regime.

Even and NLPolicewoman are tired of Buhari's calamitous and disastrous regime.

Its long over due, Buhari is the worst thing that happened to Nigeria after independence.

Nigeria has become outcast!
Lalasticlala!

Mods taking side, no first come first serve again! Fairness build a just society!
