It further implored Nigerians to avoid provocative celebrations that might incite any form of violence should Nigeria win the encounter.


In light of any provocation, the High Commission advised against any form of reciprocation but as law-abiding members of the society  acts of violence should be  reported to the proper authorities.


Last Friday, Ademola Lookman’s first-half goal helped the Super Eagles to book a semi-final berth at the AFCON after a 1-0 win over Angola in the last eight.


The 26-year-old striker finished off a flying run down the left by winger Moses Simon, who skipped the challenge of defender Kialonda Gaspar to break free and then teed up his teammate for his third goal of the tournament.


His 41st-minute strike at the Felix Houphouet-Boigny Stadium set up a semi-final meeting on Wednesday against South Africa.
