Warning of the United States, Britain, and DSS on the possibility of attacks in Nigeria.
The emotions of Nigerians have risen after the statement issued by the United States warning of the possibility of terrorist attacks in Nigeria.
On Sunday evening, the United States Embassy in Abuja issued a statement, saying that the Nigerian capital is the most vulnerable to terrorist attacks.
"The places that are at risk of attacks include places of worship, markets, schools, government buildings and shopping malls.
"With hotels, restaurants, bars, international agencies, car parks, sports facilities and security centers," the statement said.
The American Embassy also said that it will reduce its activities until the father sees it.
Shortly after the release of the message, the British Embassy in Abuja also issued a statement to that effect, saying that it will not open on Monday, October 24, 2022.
On Monday, October 24, the British Embassy in Abuja will only be open for essential workers.
"All colleagues who want to go to the embassy must ask permission from their superiors before doing so."
Also, the office advised its employees not to take their children to school.
"We will release more information shortly," according to the British statement.
What did Nigeria say?
In its response, the National Defense Service in Nigeria, DSS, said it had received messages from the public asking for more information since the release of the American statement on Sunday.
"If it can be remembered, the DSS has issued similar statements warning about the threat of attacks in the past," as she said in a statement she issued shortly after the American.
DSS advises people to take all necessary precautions.
"We want people to be part of the plan, night after day, with the help of the security agencies and the information they need for any movement they don't agree with.
The DSS then asked people to calm down while the agency is working with other security agencies and all stakeholders in the country to ensure law and order and peace in Abuja and other parts of the country.
