The Federal Government has warned Nigerian citizens planning to travel to the United Kingdom, to be wary of violence risk occasioned by the recent killing of three young girls at a concert.
A statement released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Abuja on Monday, and signed by its Spokesperson, Eche Abu-Obe, said the violence has assumed “dangerous proportions” as evidenced by reported attacks on law enforcement agents and damage to infrastructure.
It advised citizens to be extra vigilant and take precautionary measures that will keep them safe.
It advised them to avoid political processions and protests, rallies or marches, crowded areas and large gatherings.
Reports have it that 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.
These disturbances have only been aggravated by the unfortunate deaths of the three girls, spawning an anti-immigration narrative, with particular emphasis on Muslim immigrants or persons of colour being targeted.
