Terror Threat: Real Reason US Raised Red Flag by dre11(m): 12:02pm On Oct 28, 2022
The United States Embassy earlier this week issued a security alert on elevated risk of terror attacks in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja....



The United States Embassy earlier this week issued a security alert on elevated risk of terror attacks in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), Abuja.

Following US Embassy terror warning, the British High Commission also issued advisory to its staff on movement while also announcing reduced services.

Similarly, other European countries such as the United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Bulgaria, Ireland and Denmark amongst others, are reducing services and will be attending only to critical needs.

Daily Trust reliably gathered from diplomatic sources that other countries aligned with the position of the US after a series of meetings, intelligence sharing and “incontrovertible proof of imminent danger.”

One of the sources said, “Late last week, a suspect was nabbed near the US Embassy at the Central Area allegedly spying on the surroundings. Also, explosive devices were found near the entrance of a compound housing US staff on Saturday, October 22.”

The source added that after gathering intelligence on the plan to attack US citizens and other expatriates, the US government decided to send Special Forces to Abuja to analyse the threat.

Beyond that, the US State Department, in the travel advisory issued on Tuesday authorised the departure of non-emergency U.S. government employees.

But a source in one of the security agencies in Nigeria said the panic was not worth it.

“What is the panic for…? (This is) not the first time a security alert is issued in Nigeria. What is this Nigerians crave for foreign products? Because the alert came from the USA? Our love for foreign things is insatiable…

“Remember, on 19th March 2022; 26th April 2022 and 14th December 2021, the DSS warned about impending bomb and violent attacks and plans by elements to attack public places. Nigerians dismissed those and were never alarmed.

“Few months after, Kano, Jigawa, Imo and other places were attacked. Kuje was attacked. Haba! It could have been worst but for the intervention of our law enforcement authorities. Abeg! people should calm down. It is time for everyone to support security agencies with information about criminals. Be vigilant.”


Meanwhile, another top security source believed the US government was overreacting saying the threat level could be contained without the scare-mongering by the embassy.

A senior intelligence source described the US government’s action as “disgusting and a slap on Nigerian authorities”.

But another source attributed the action to the American government’s disgust by recent Nigeria’s government close working relationship with the China and Russian governments, especially in the area of defence procurement.

On Thursday, one of the biggest malls in Abuja shut down indefinitely, citing safety concerns.


A few hours after this, Nigeria’s Inspector-General of Police, Usman Baba, placed his men on alert nationwide and released emergency numbers to the public.

Unless, the incoming administration rises to address illiteracy,poverty and perceived injustice among some quarters.
The gun violence won't be ending soon.
Military action is like using cough and cold syrup for malaria.
The ACT that will kill malaria (insecurity) is equity,justice and fairness.
mass literacy up to SS3
empowerments and jobs.

America is an alarmist country. Do they think criminals/terrorists don't know psychological manipulations? It's our govt I'm blaming who keeps on tolerating these repetitive balderdash masked as security alert.

United state are just upsetting security issues in the country in disguise, so they can infiltrate the country security architecture and intelligence.

To think the Nigerian government will even allow them to start carrying out military operations in the country and sending in special forces at will, raise cause for alarm.

Before you know now, they will start striking down any of our politician or army general anyhow and anytime they like in disguise of protecting their citizens just like they did to General Suleimani of Iran. If you give US a chance to dictate and have a say in your security setting, they will end up enslaving the whole country. It has always been their plan.

- First they Upset the security issues of a country, raising negative alarm and blackmail us with it. Thereby threatening to pullout if nothing is done. Then we will be left with no other option than allowing them to help.

- infiltrate the security architecture in disguise of trying to help.

- take over the entire security settings little by little.

- instigate the citizens against the government so as to install their puppet.

- If the government fights back, they use the same security intelligence they have gathered over time in the country and use it against the already weak and infiltrated security architecture.

- Use their media to paint the government bad, and leak every little confidential and classified security secret of the country.

- Then together with their puppet and evil allies. They invade the country in disguise of restoring world peace and curtailing weapon of mass destruction.

- Is it not surprising that at the same time US is raising alarm, UK , france and other evil allies are also doing same. It is part of the game.


I hate Nigerian government for always acting very weak in issues involving western powers. Cant we just be courageous like South Africa.

The only reason we know is that there are terrorists everywhere in Abuja.

The real terrorists. Those that master mind attacks like Nyanya bomb blast, and Madalla bomb blast. Those terrorists that master minded the chibok girls kidnap.

Those terrorists that are still holding Leah Sharibu.

Those terrorists that bombed a train and kidnapped over 300 people.

Those terrorists that they just released from Kuje prison a few weeks ago.

They are all in Abuja, and certain people in the government is giving them cover

The fact still remains that the US are more proficient in such matters of accessing terrorist threat and Intel gathering.

While we feel that the US may have overreacted, the thing is that they do value the lives of their citizens which is something we find very difficult to do
