Below are some reasons given by the FCO:
There is a continuing high threat from terrorism. Most attacks occur in the north east, particularly in Borno (including central Maiduguri and along access routes into the city), Yobe, Adamawa and Gombe States.
Also, There have also been significant attacks in Kano, Kaduna, Jos, Bauchi, Abuja and Gombe. Further attacks could occur anywhere. Major towns and cities remain particularly at risk, including Kano and Kaduna, and Abuja as the federal capital.
The UK government also says attacks have taken place in public or crowded places, including places of worship, markets and displacement camps.
errorists should avoid public places where crowds gather, including religious gatherings and insecure public spaces like markets and transport hubs.
There is a high threat of kidnap throughout Nigeria especially in the Kogi region. Recent terrorist kidnaps have occurred mostly in northern Nigeria, but could occur anywhere in Nigeria. Kidnaps can be for financial or political gain, and can be motivated by criminality or terrorism.
The government also advised tourists that demonstrations and civil unrest can occur at short notice so they should follow news reports and be alert to developments and if they become aware of any nearby protests, they should leave the area immediately.
The FCO also warns that flash flooding can occur during the wet season (June to October). There is a greater risk from water-borne diseases during the rainy season.
