The move follows rising tensions between the United States and Iran and fears of possible protests in Abuja.
In a notice posted on its website, the embassy warned that protesr could take place in the Federal Capital Territory, and advised American citizens living in Abuja to stay indoors for their safety.
“The U.S. Embassy in Abuja informs U.S. citizens that there is a high potential for protests in Abuja tomorrow, March 4, 2026, due to the current conflict with Iran,” the statement read.
“Previous protests by some groups have resulted in violent clashes between the groups and Nigerian security forces. The Embassy strongly recommends that all U.S. citizens in Abuja remain in their residences on Wednesday, March 4.”
The alert comes just days after joint airstrikes by the U.S and Israel allegedly killed Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei.
KanyiDaily recalls that supporters of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN), better known as Shi’ites, took to the streets to protest the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
