The State Department warned Monday of a threat to US facilities and schools in Nigeria, urging Americans to take precautions.
“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.
“Increasing awareness of your surroundings, avoiding
predictable routines, and reviewing general security precautions with your
family can help reduce your risk,” it said.
The embassy did not spell out the source of the threat.
President Donald Trump on Christmas Day ordered US bombings
of Nigeria, saying he was targeting jihadists.
The 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.
The 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.
