The United Kingdom Embassy in Nigeria has declared the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) safe for movement in an updated security alert to its citizens in the country.
Two weeks ago, the UK, the United States, and four other countries had alerted the nationals on planned terror attacks in the FCT.
In the latest notice placed on its website on Monday evening, the UK said: “The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) no longer advises against all but essential travel to the Federal Capital Territory, including the city of Abuja, but risks remain, and further details about the continued threat from terrorism in this region have been added.
The UK, however, warned its nationals against all trips to Borno, Gombe, Kaduna, Katsina, Zamfara, riverine areas of Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom, and Cross River States.
It also maintained its advice against all but essential travel to Bauchi, Kano, Jigawa, Niger, Sokoto, Kogi, within 20km of the border with Niger in Kebbi State, Abia, non-riverine areas of Delta, Bayelsa and Rivers, Plateau, and Taraba States.
