Attack On Nigerians: FG Want Citizens To Take Extra Precaution In US, Europe

Sequel to the attack on Nigerians in London and the stealing of their belongings, including passports, the Federal Government of Nigeria (FGN) on Monday asked its citizens travelling to the United States and Europe, to take extra precautions to avoid being dispossessed of their belongings.

Addressing a press conference in Abuja, the Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said, “It has come to the attention of the government that Nigerian travellers to the United States and some countries in Europe are having their belongings, especially, money and international passports, stolen at an increasingly high rate.

“The most recent victims of this are travellers to the UK, most of whom were dispossessed of their belongings at highbrow shops, particularly in the high street of Oxford.

“We have therefore decided to advise Nigerians travelling to Europe and the United States to take extra precautions to avoid being dispossessed of their belongings.
