U.S. embassy warns of possible ‘terrorism’ attacks against hotels in Nigeria



The U.S. Embassy in Nigeria said on Friday it had received information that groups “associated with terrorism” may be planning attacks against hotels in the country that are frequented by Westerners.

According to Reuters, “In a brief message for U.S. citizens, the embassy said it had no further information regarding the timing or method of any planned attacks”.

“The U.S. Mission advises all U.S. citizens to be vigilant when at hotels and around areas frequented by expatriates and foreign travelers … locations where large crowds may gather; and government facilities,” the statement said.

Last month, 20 people, including one American, were killed in an attack on a luxury hotel in Bamako, Mali, claimed by two Islamist groups.
