President Muhammadu Buhari has urged Nigerians to be calm but vigilant amidst the travel advisory by several Western countries, warning of possible terror attacks in the Nigerian capital, Abuja.
According to a statement by his spokesperson, Garba Shehu, Mr Buhari also advised “the nation’s security establishment and entire citizens to continue being vigilant and careful with security, saying it is important to avoid panic.”
PREMIUM TIMES reported the travel advisories, first by the US and UK governments, and then by other foreign missions.
They warned their citizens to avoid travelling to Nigeria, particularly Abuja, warning of a potential terror attack in the city.
The US has since suspended consular operations in Abuja nad advised its staff and their families to relocate from the Nigerian capital.
President Buhari, however, said the advisories do not mean “an attack in Abuja is imminent. ”
