Canadian Embassy Suspends Operations In Nigeria


Canadian embassy has suspended operations at its embassy in Nigeria until further notice and issued a warning against nonessential travel to the west African nation, joining the United States and United Kingdom.

The embassy issued a travel advisory, warning against non-essential travel to Nigeria, including capital Abuja, “due to the unpredictable security situation throughout the country and the significant risk of terrorism, crime, inter-communal clashes, armed attacks and kidnappings.”

Following the fire accident at the embassy on Monday, The High Commission did not comment on the fire but said in a post on social media site X, it had “temporarily suspended operations until further notice.”

Western countries in Nigeria routinely issue travel warnings, which the government often dismiss as lacking merit

On the fire accident, President Bola Tinubu in a statement prayed for the repose of the departed souls and wishes all injured persons a rapid and full recovery.
