The authorities of Canada and Australia have issued travel advisories on Nigeria, warning their citizens to be on alert.

This new warning is coming 72 hours after the US and UK said terrorists were plotting to strike in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital.

After this, the US authorised the evacuation of its citizens and embassy staff from Nigeria.

In its advisory, the Australian government advised its citizens to reconsider the need to travel to Nigeria.

It listed Abuja and surrounding areas as places prone to high threats of terrorist attack and kidnapping.

“The potential for terrorism, kidnapping, crime and civil unrest remains high throughout Nigeria. If, despite our advice, you undertake travel within Nigeria, research routes and get professional security advice and support before departing,” it advised.

People who have to travel to Nigeria are at risk of terrorist attacks, kidnappings, violence, unrest and crime.

On its part, Canada also advised its citizens to avoid non-essential trips to Nigeria, “including in Abuja, due to the unpredictable security situation throughout the country and the significant risk of terrorism, crime, inter-communal clashes, armed attacks and kidnappings”.
