The UK government has insisted on its terror alert, despite assurances by the federal government that the country was safe.
The fresh alert came as a major mall in the FCT, Jabi Lake Mall, shuts its operation in what the management said was an effort to protect its staff and customers.
THE Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office, FCDO, also updated its travel advisory to British nationals, advising them against all but essential travel to the Federal Capital Territory, including the city of Abuja.
