In a security notice released on Monday, the embassy urged citizens to remain alert and exercise heightened caution when visiting locations linked to the United States.
“The US Embassy in Abuja informs US citizens of a possible terrorist threat against US facilities and US-affiliated schools in Nigeria,” the statement said.
The embassy advised Americans living or traveling in Nigeria to increase their security awareness and adopt precautionary measures to reduce potential risks.
“Increasing awareness of your surroundings, avoiding predictable routines, and reviewing general security precautions with your family can help reduce your risk,” the embassy added.
While the embassy issued the warning, it did not provide details about the source of the threat or the specific locations that may be targeted.
Security alerts of this nature are typically issued when diplomatic missions receive intelligence suggesting possible threats to their personnel or associated institutions.
The latest warning also comes amid heightened global tensions following military actions involving the United States, Israel, and Iran, which have raised security concerns in several regions.
According to reports, Iran has responded to attacks by launching missile and drone strikes against countries considered allies of the United States, prompting Washington to issue global security advisories for its citizens abroad.
The embassy has therefore urged American citizens in Nigeria to remain cautious and stay updated through official security channels.
