The Canada High Commission to Nigeria in Abuja has announced suspension of its operation in Nigeria until further notice.
The commission also issued a warning against non-essential travel to the country, according to NairaMetrics.
The embassy issued a travel advisory, warning against non-essential travel to Nigeria, including Abuja “due to the unpredictable security situation throughout the country and a significant risk of crime, inter-communal clashes, armed attacks and kidnapping.”
Information about the temporary closure of the Canadian embassy in Nigeria and the travel advisory was gathered from the official website of the Government of Canada.
Although no reason was stated for the suspension of operations in Nigeria, the Canada High Commission in Abuja on Monday witnessed a fir£ outbreak that killed two persons and injured two.
