The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) has warned British citizens against traveling to 21 states in Nigeria, citing rising insecurity, kidnapping, violent crime, and intercommunal clashes. The advisory was last updated on October 21.

In the north-east, the FCDO advised against all travel to Borno, Yobe, Adamawa, and Gombe, due to risks of retaliatory attacks linked to ongoing military operations. Only essential travel is recommended for Bauchi state, where threats from Boko Haram and Islamic State West Africa remain high, particularly around transport hubs, religious sites, and large gatherings.

In the north-west, the advisory warned against all travel to Katsina and Zamfara, citing frequent banditry and violent attacks. Essential travel only is advised for Kaduna, Kebbi, Jigawa, and Sokoto.

For north-central Nigeria, the FCDO cautioned against non-essential travel to Niger, Kogi, Plateau, and Taraba states. In Abuja, rising violent crime, including firearm-related incidents, and protests that may turn violent were highlighted.

In the south-east, the advisory warned against non-essential travel to Abia, Anambra, Imo, due to activities of active secessionist groups. Non-riverine areas of Delta, Bayelsa, and Rivers states were also flagged.

In Lagos, the FCDO highlighted high levels of crime, particularly on the mainland, with street crime posing significant risks to travelers.
