 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.

The Chief of Army Staff Lieutenant General Waidi Shaibu, has charged troops of Operation HADIN KAI  to remain vigilant and sustain aggressive operations in the ongoing clearance of the remnant elements of terrorists in the North East region.
