The US says there are “elevated threats” to major hotels in
Nigeria’s “larger cities”.
This was contained in an emergency
information for American citizens dated November 3.
The advisory said the Nigerian security agencies are working
to counter the threat.
It said US citizens should exercise vigilance at major
hotels, be alert of their surroundings, keep a low profile, and review the
travel advisory for Nigeria before checking into any hotels.
“The U.S. Government
is aware of credible information that there is an elevated threat to major
hotels in Nigeria’s larger cities,” the notice reads.
“The Nigerian security services are working diligently to
counter the threat.
“The U.S. Department of State advises U.S. citizens to
consider this information when arranging lodging or visiting major hotels in
Nigeria.”
It also provided the addresses and telephone numbers of the
US embassy in Abuja and consulate in Lagos should any US citizen require help.
In October, the US advised all its citizens worldwide to
exercise restraint in travelling to various locations around the world. Nigeria
was listed under the third tier of caution alert (Reconsider to travel).
