The American government has given its embassy in Nigeria’s capital city of Abuja the permission to evacuate.
The U.S. Department of State’s clearance was announced in a statement on Wednesday.
Due to the potential of assaults, the permission permits the voluntarily evacuation of family members and specific personnel.
The Federal Capital Territory was to be the scene of terrorist attacks, according to the U.S. Mission in Nigeria (FCT).
The American embassy in Abuja claims it has a limited capacity to help Americans in need immediately.
However, routine and urgent services are still offered to Americans by the Lagos consulate.
U.S. citizens were recommended to establish a personal emergency action plan that doesn’t rely on government support in the statement.
“Take advantage of commercial transportation options, if you wish to depart Nigeria.
“Monitor local media for breaking news on the security situation; Be aware of your surroundings; keep a low profile”, the advisory added.
