IN its latest travel advisory, the Canadian government has warned its citizens against ‘non-essential’ travels to Nigeria due to the high level of insecurity and crime in the West African country.

Canadians who happened to be in Nigeria were advised to exercise a ‘high degree of caution.’

The travel advisory on Nigeria, issued on February 16, 2021, was rated as ‘Still Valid’ on February 21, 2021.

In the travel advisory posted on travel.gc.ca, a website of the Canadian government, Canadians were advised to “avoid non-essential travel to Nigeria due to the unpredictable security situation throughout the country and the significant risk of terrorism, crime, inter-communal clashes, armed attacks and kidnappings.”

But the Canadian authorities specifically warned the country’s nationals to “avoid all travel” to some parts of Nigeria, particularly the North-Western states of Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Sokoto and Zamfara, as well as well as the North-Eastern states of Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Jigawa and Yobe.

Other states Canadians were advised to avoid in Nigeria included Plateau, in the North-Central, and Niger Delta states – Akwa Ibom, Bayelsa, Delta, and Rivers.

Two South-Eastern states – Imo and Anambra – were equally classified as ‘no go’ areas for Canadians in Nigeria.

The travel advisory noted that acts of terrorism and kidnapping were likely to occur in Kaduna, Kano, Katsina, Sokoto, Zamfara, Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Gombe, Jigawa and Yobe states.

It also pointed to sporadic episodes of inter-communal and sectarian violence in Plateau as one reason why Canadians should steer clear of the state.

The Canadian government also told its citizens that the security situation in the Niger Delta region was fragile, with conflicts between militant groups, armed robbery and kidnapping posing significant threats.

Piracy was identified as an ongoing threat in the Niger Delta states, with pirate attacks, armed robbery against ships, ship hijackings, kidnappings and hostage takings occuring in coastal waters in the Gulf of Guinea.

In the Niger Delta, insurgents equipped with speedboats and high-calibre weapons posed a risk, according to the travel advisory.

“If you choose to remain in the Niger Delta states despite this advisory, be extremely vigilant at all times. If travelling for business, ensure that meetings are held at a secure location and that your contact is known to you,” the Canadian government further advised.
