Countries such as the United States (US) and the United Kingdom (UK) had updated travel advisories for their citizens in Nigeria.
The US had asked family members of its employees resident in Abuja to leave the area, while the UK warned against unnecessary travel to the nation’s capital.
Reacting to the development, the Department of State Services (DSS) called for calm, while the president had said the travel advisories do not signify imminent attacks in Abuja.
