As war threats intensify between Iran and the United States, American citizens have been cautioned by their country to reconsider traveling to or across Nigeria.

A statement on the website of the US Embassy in Nigeria advises American citizens to keep a low profile and also review their personal security measures.

The statement also advised Americans to stay at alert in public places like schools, hospitals, tourist locations, worship centres and transportation hubs.

It read, “Due to recent world events, U.S. citizens should review their personal security measures. While we have no specific threat information, it is prudent to remind ourselves of the following personal security actions to follow on a regular basis.

“Actions to take: Be aware of your surroundings; keep a low profile; avoid crowds and demonstrations; exercise caution when walking or driving at night; carry proper identification; review your personal security plans and monitor local media for updates.”
