The United States Again, Warns Her Citizens Of The Risk Of Travel To Nigeria

The United States has again, warned American citizens of the risks of travel to Nigeria, especially to areas like Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Delta, and Rivers, Abia, Edo, Imo, and also to Jos, Plateau State, Bauchi, Borno  and the Gulf of Guinea. They warned their citizens of "the risks of kidnapping, robbery, and other armed attacks" associated with these areas. The notice dated 13th October 2011 read;

"Violent crime committed by individuals and gangs, as well as by persons wearing police and military uniforms, remains a problem throughout the country," 

They also highlighted the suicide bombing at; the UN Headquarters in Abuja on August 26, the one at the Nigerian Police Force Headquarters 10 weeks earlier, as well as the 2010 bombings in Maiduguri, Suleja, and Jos. The notice didn't fail to point out that the risk of attacks on Westerners are even higher, this US travel warning replaces the last one, dated October 19, 2010. 

Obviously this shows that the situation in Nigeria isn't getting any better, in fact, the reverse is the case.
