US warns of threat to facilities, schools in Nigeria
The US Embassy in Abuja.
nThe State Department warned Monday of a threat to US facilities and schools in Nigeria, urging Americans to take precautions.
n“The US embassy in Abuja informs US citizens of a possible terrorist threat against US facilities and US affiliated schools in Nigeria,” it said in a notice.
n“Increasing awareness of your surroundings, avoiding predictable routines, and reviewing general security precautions with your family can help reduce your risk,” it said.
nThe embassy did not spell out the source of the threat.
nPresident Donald Trump on Christmas Day ordered US bombings of Nigeria, saying he was targeting jihadists.
nThe attack came after Trump complained that Christians were facing persecution in Africa’s most populous nation, an assessment that is contested in a country that has seen wide violence against both Christians and Muslims.
nThe warning in Nigeria also comes amid a global security warning by the United States after Washington and Israel attacked Iran, which has responded with missile and drone attacks against its US-aligned neighbors.
