US Embassy Issues Urgent Security Alert For Nigeria Amidst Growing Concerns
US Embassy Issues Security Alert In Nigeria:
The United States Mission in Nigeria has issued a security alert to its citizens in the country due to the #EndBadGovernance protests that started on August 1, 2024.
Out of an abundance of caution, the U.S. Embassy in Abuja and the U.S. Consulate General in Lagos will operate with essential staff only on August 1 and 2, 2024. Non-essential staffers have been advised to remain at home to avoid any disruptions that may result from the potential nationwide protests.
Media reports indicate that protesters are expected to begin gathering at Eagles Square in Abuja mid to late morning. In Lagos, protests may start as early as 8:00 a.m. or 9:00 a.m. and primary locations have been identified as Alausa Park, Freedom Park, and Peace Park. Additional possible protest sites in Lagos include Nahco Bus Stop (Airport Road), Marwa Bus Stop (Lekki-Epe Expressway), and Ikeja “Under the Bridge” (Intersection of Obafemi Awolowo and Allen Avenue).
However, protests may occur at other times and locations in Abuja and Lagos, as well as in other cities and population centers in Nigeria over the coming days. Based on past occurrences, protests may involve roadblocks, checkpoints, traffic congestion, and physical confrontations.
All visa appointments between August 1 and 2 have been cancelled. The U.S. Embassy has warned of security risks related to potential nationwide protests and has advised citizens to exercise caution.
