The US Government has warned her citizens against terror threats in Nigeria and asked them to avoid major Hotels in the Country.

According to the release, US says there are “elevated threats” to major hotels in Nigeria’s “larger cities”.

This  release was made in an emergency  information for Americans citizens on November 3.

The advise also suggested that the Nigerian security agencies are working to counter the threat.

It said US citizens should exercise vigilance at major hotels, be alert to their surroundings, keep a low profile, and review the travel advisory for Nigeria before checking into any hotels.

“The U.S. Government is aware of credible information that there is an elevated threat to major hotels in Nigeria’s larger cities,” the notice reads.

“The Nigerian security services are working diligently to counter the threat.

“The U.S. Department of State advises U.S. citizens to consider this information when arranging lodging or visiting major hotels in Nigeria.”

It also provided the addresses and telephone numbers of the US embassy in Abuja and consulate in Lagos should any US citizen require help.

In October, the US adviced all its citizens worldwide to exercise restraint in travelling to various locations around the world. Nigeria was included under the third tier of caution alert  to reconsider to travel.
