In its advisory, the US government urged its citizens to be vigilant, be alert of their surroundings, keep a low profile, and review the travel advisory for Nigeria before checking into any hotel especially major hotels.
The notice reads, “The US Government is aware of credible information that there is an elevated threat to major hotels in Nigeria’s larger cities.”
The advisory said the Nigerian security agencies are working to counter the threat.
“The Nigerian security services are working diligently to counter the threat,” it stated.
