The United States Embassy in Nigeria has issued a security alert warning of a possible terrorist threat targeting U.S. government facilities and American-affiliated schools in Nigeria.
In the advisory released on Tuesday, the embassy urged American citizens to stay alert and take safety precautions. It advised people to keep their phones charged for emergencies and be aware of emergency exits when entering public buildings.
Despite the warning, the embassy said consular services will continue as usual at its mission in Abuja and at the U.S. consulate in Lagos.
The embassy also encouraged U.S. citizens to monitor updates on its official website and follow security guidance from the United States Department of State.
The alert comes amid rising global tensions linked to the ongoing conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States, which began in late February 2026 and has since escalated with air strikes, missile attacks and drone operations across the region.
