Tension in Abuja as U.S. Embassy Releases Security Notice

The United States, U.S. Embassy in Nigeria, has issued security alerts to its citizens in Nigeria’s capital city, Abuja, over a planned protest in Abuja.

In a statement posted on its official X handle on Wednesday, the Embassy stated that there is a high potential for protests in Abuja today following the current conflict with Iran.

The statement warned that previous protests by some groups over the ongoing conflict have resulted in violent clashes between the groups and Nigerian security forces.
