Nigeria: Avoid non-essential travel
OFFICIAL WARNING: Foreign Affairs and International Trade Canada advises against non-essential travel to Nigeria.
The security situation in Nigeria is unpredictable and there is a significant risk of terrorism, crime, inter-communal clashes, armed attacks, banditry, and kidnappings.
There is a high threat of domestic terrorism in some parts of Nigeria, especially in northeastern and middle-belt states, and the Federal Capital Territory, where the extremist group Boko Haram, which often claims responsibility for terror attacks, is active.
