The Nigerian military claims Boko Haram has been defeated, but the United States government, through its Embassy in Nigeria, has warned of an imminent Boko Haram attack in Abuja.
The Embassy in a message urged its citizens resident or doing business in Abuja to be security conscious.
According to intelligence at its disposal, the mission said the likely targets would be hotels frequented by Westerners. But was not sure about the exact timing of the planned attacks.
The embassy said, “We advise all U.S. citizens to review their personal security plans, remain aware of their surroundings, including local events, monitor local news stations for updates, and report specific incidences of targeted violence to the U.S. Embassy in Abuja or the U. S. Consulate General in Lagos.”
