The Federal Government has issued a travel alert to Nigerians planning to travel to the United Kingdom. This was contained in a statement by the spokesperson of the Ministry of foreign affairs, Amb. Eche Abu-Obe dated Monday, August 5.
“There is an increased risk of viol£nce and disorder occasioned by the recent riots in the UK, stemming from the k+lling of three young girls at a concert. The viol£nce has assumed dangerous proportions, as evidenced by reported att@cks on law enforcement agents and damage to infrastructure.
To this end, citizens are advised to be extra vigilant and take measures as follows: Avoid political processions and protests, rallies or marches. Avoid crowded areas and large gatherings.
And vigilant and self-aware at all times. Demonstrations by far-right and other extra-parliamentary groups in parts of the UK in recent weeks have been large and, in some instances, unruly.
