After monitoring the situation in the Middle East, regarding the Military action reportedly undertaken by the State of Israel and the United States, targeting the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Federal Government has issued advisory to all Nigerian citizens residing in or currently visiting Iran and neighbouring Gulf countries.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement on Saturday through the Spokesperson for the Ministry, Kimiebi Ebienfa, urged Nigerians residing in any Gulf Country to remain vigilant and avoid government installations.
“All Nigerians in Iran and affected Gulf countries are advised to remain extremely vigilant and conscious of their surroundings at all times. Avoid areas known to be strategic, military, or government installations, as these could be potential flashpoints.”
“It is strongly recommended that Nigerians restrict non-essential movement and travel within the countries until the security situation becomes clearer and stabilizes. Avoid large gatherings and public demonstrations,” the statement added.
The statement advised Nigerians to comply with all security and safety directives from local authorities to avoid casualty on their part.
“Citizens are strongly advised to strictly comply with all security and safety directives issued by the local authorities to ensure their safety. Remember that cooperation with local law enforcement is paramount for safety.”
Recall that the United States and the State of Israel have resumed bombings of strategic installations in the Islamic Republic of Iran over issues bordering on nuclear plants.
