The State Department issued a warning Monday about a potential danger to US institutions and schools in Nigeria, encouraging Americans to take measures.
“The United States embassy in Abuja informs US citizens of a possible terrorist threat against US facilities and US-affiliated schools in Nigeria,” it said in a notice.
“Increasing awareness of your surroundings, avoiding predictable routines, and reviewing general security precautions with your family can help reduce your risk,” it said.
The embassy did not reveal the source of the threat.
President Donald Trump on Christmas Day ordered bombings of terrorists’ hideouts in Sokoto State, Nigeria.
The attack came after Trump lamented that Christians were facing persecution in Nigeria, an assessment that is contested in a country that has seen wide violence against both Christians and Muslims.
The warning in Nigeria comes as the United States issues a global security warning following attacks on Iran by Washington and Israel, which has reacted with missile and drone attacks on United States-aligned nations.
