 U.S warns citizens in Nigeria of possible 'terrorist threat' The ​embassy has been on heightened alert ⁠since the U.S. and Israel ​launched coordinated strikes against Iran. U.S. ​citizens should take additional precautions when traveling to the embassy in the capital ​Abuja and the U.S. consulate ​in commercial capital Lagos and U.S.-affiliated schools, ‌the ⁠embassy said, Reuters reported. The embassy did not give details on the security threat, but Nigerian authorities have in ​recent days ​stepped up ⁠security in Abuja following threats of pro-Iranian protests. In ​northern Nigeria, where there ​is ⁠a sizeable Shi'ite Muslim minority influenced by Iran, thousands of protesters ⁠have ​taken to the streets ​to march in support of Iran.

 1 DEAD, PROPERTIES DESTROYED IN OGBADIBO CLASH BETWEEN ODOBA & EPAIGBO - EYEWITNESSES  


Tensions escalated into violence yesterday between the Odoba and Epaigbo communities in Ogbadibo Local Government Area, leaving one person dead and several properties destroyed.


Residents told reporters that the crisis began when an Odoba vigilante allegedly shot and killed a youth from Epaigbo over a ₦9,000 debt. The fatal shooting reportedly ignited anger among Epaigbo youths, who retaliated against members of the Odoba community.


Eyewitnesses said the confrontation quickly spiraled into widespread clashes. “Buildings were set on fire, and people ran for their lives,” one local resident recounted, requesting anonymity. Several others sustained injuries as chaos spread through the communities.


Community leaders have expressed grave concern over the violence and are appealing for calm. “We urge our youths to exercise restraint and allow security agencies to handle the situation,” said a traditional ruler from Ogbadibo.


Authorities have been called upon to investigate the incident thoroughly and hold those responsible accountable. Security agencies are expected to intervene to restore peace and prevent further escalation.


The incident underscores ongoing tensions in the area and highlights the urgent need for dialogue and conflict resolution to prevent similar outbreaks of violence in the future.
