\n\nThere is a high threat of terrorist attack globally affecting UK interests and British nationals, including from groups and individuals who view the UK and British nationals as targets. Stay aware of your surroundings at all times.
\n\nUK Counter Terrorism Policing has information and advice on staying safe abroad and what to do in the event of a terrorist attack. Find out how to reduce your risk from terrorism while abroad.
\n\nTerrorists are very likely to try to carry out attacks in Nigeria.
\nThe primary terrorist threat in Nigeria comes from Islamic State West Africa (ISWA) and Boko Haram. These groups are mainly based in north-east Nigeria in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states. Since 2021, there have also been attacks likely associated with terrorist groups in the following states: Borno, Gombe, Niger, Kaduna, Kogi, Bauchi, Ondo, Zamfara, Taraba, Jigawa, Sokoto, Edo and Kano states, as well as the Federal Capital Territory.
\n\nAttacks could be indiscriminate and could occur at any time, including in places visited by foreign nationals, such as:
\n\nTake particular care during election periods, or periods of religious significance or other public holidays.
\n\nTerrorist groups have also constructed unauthorised vehicle checkpoints on major supply and commercial routes, such as the A3 Maiduguri-Damaturu Road.
\n\nA heavy security presence is often a sign of a particularly high risk. Avoid affected areas in the immediate aftermath of an attack. Stay aware of your surroundings, keep up to date with local media reports and follow the advice of local authorities.
\n\nRecent significant attacks include:
\n\nTerrorist groups are highly likely to carry out kidnaps in Nigeria. Kidnappings are widespread and could occur anywhere. Foreign nationals and humanitarian workers have been kidnapped in the North, including in the states of Adamawa, Bauchi, Borno, Katsina, Kano and Kebbi. There may be an increased risk of terrorist kidnap, particularly to NGO workers, in Borno State.
\n\nBritish nationals are seen as legitimate targets, including tourists, humanitarian aid workers, journalists and business travellers. If you are kidnapped, the reason for your presence is unlikely to protect you or secure your safe release.
\n\nThe long-standing policy of the British government is not to make substantive concessions to hostage takers. The British government considers that paying ransoms and releasing prisoners builds the capability of terrorist groups and finances their activities. This can, in turn, increase the risk of further hostage-taking. The Terrorism Act (2000) makes payments to terrorists illegal.
\n\nWhen arranging meetings, use a secure location. Avoid regular patterns of travel and aim to only travel during daylight hours.
\n\nPolitical rallies, protests and violent demonstrations can take place with little notice. Get advice on areas to avoid from local authorities, local news outlets or your travel operator. Take care if you’re visiting crowded public places or attending events which attract large crowds. If you see a threatening or intimidating situation, do not try to make your way through it. Turn around and move to safety.
\n\nIncidents of intercommunal violence occur frequently and often without warning throughout Nigeria. Although foreign nationals are not normally targeted, there is a risk you could be caught in an attack. Monitor local government announcements and media reporting.
\n\nWidespread public demonstrations periodically take place across Nigeria including in major cities of Abuja and Lagos. Past protests have resulted in disruption, violence, and the security services have made use of tear gas, rubber bullets and live fire on occasion. Protests may occur with little notice. Exercise caution when travelling, limit travel after dark, avoid large crowds and gatherings, and monitor local media reporting, as well as UK Travel Advice.
\n\nThe authorities impose, amend and lift curfews and restrictions on the movement of vehicles at short notice throughout Nigeria.
\n\nIf you fail to observe curfews and restrictions, you could be at significant risk of arrest and detention. Check with the local authorities or someone with local knowledge for up-to-date information.
\n\nNetwork operators in Nigeria have in the past been ordered to suspend mobile networks and wi-fi with very little notice.
\n\nThroughout Nigeria there are high levels of violent street crime including muggings and armed robbery.
\n\nThere are frequent reports of carjackings, some involving armed gunmen, on Nigeria’s urban roads with rural road networks especially dangerous.
\n\nCriminals have targeted visiting British nationals due to perceived wealth. Follow guidance offered by hosts or employers and limit road travel at night as far as possible. Avoid carrying large amounts of cash and never wear valuable watches, jewellery or items of sentimental value. If you suspect danger, move to a safer area.
\n\nIf you’re caught up in an armed robbery, immediately comply with the attackers’ demands.
\n\nAreas around banks and ATMs have seen a spike in criminal activity, so take extra precautions when withdrawing cash, especially at night.
\n\nCredit card fraud is common, so keep your card within sight when paying bills.
\n\nBritish nationals are increasingly targeted by scammers operating in West Africa. Scams come in many forms including romance and friendship, business ventures and work or employment opportunities. Scams can put victims at great financial risk. Be cautious about requests for funds, job offers, business ventures and face-to-face meetings with anyone you have been in contact with online. Get more information on scams from Action Fraud, including ‘419’ emails and letters.
\n\nIf you’re emailed about a money transfer to Nigeria for someone you know, contact the person supposedly receiving the money. If a caller claims to be in distress, ask if they have reported the incident to the Consular Section in the British Deputy High Commission in Lagos or British High Commission in Abuja.
\n\nIf you receive a suspicious email that claims to be from any British High Commission office in Nigeria, contact the Consular Section of the British Deputy High Commission in Lagos.
\n\nIf you’re considering fertility treatment or surrogacy options in Nigeria, exercise caution. There have been reports of staged fake births, commonly referred to as ‘miracle babies’, where visitors are falsely led to believe that a birth has taken place.
\n\nRegulation of fertility treatment and surrogacy services in Nigeria is weak, and legal protections for intended parents and surrogates may be limited. There have also been reports of legal disputes involving international surrogacy arrangements in both Nigerian and English courts.
\n\nIf you plan to bring a child born through fertility treatment or surrogacy in Nigeria to the UK, make sure you understand the relevant UK immigration and health requirements. See Guidance on surrogacy overseas.
\n\nThe UK has restricted overseas adoption of children from Nigeria. If you bring a child who is not biologically related to you into the UK without following the legal procedures, you could face prosecution and the child may not be eligible for British citizenship.
\n\nKidnapping is widespread across Nigeria and criminal kidnaps can occur anywhere. The issue is particularly severe in the northwest (including Zamfara, Katsina, Kaduna, Borno, Sokoto) but is also high in many central and southern states (including Niger, Kogi, Kwara, and the Abuja Federal Capital Territory).
\n\nCriminal groups may kidnap victims by stopping cars on major highways, including the:
\n\nThere is also a high threat of kidnapping and other armed attacks at oil and gas facilities in the Niger Delta region including to facilities at sea.
\n\nPossible targets for kidnap include British nationals of Nigerian origin visiting friends and relatives, and British nationals working for international corporations. They will have connections in the country with ready access to funds. There is a possibility that criminal groups could sell people they kidnap as hostages to terrorist organisations (see ‘Terrorist kidnap’ section above).
\n\nWhen arranging meetings, use a secure location. Avoid regular patterns of travel and aim to only travel during daylight hours.
\n\nThere have been deaths and cases of serious illness caused by alcoholic drinks containing methanol in Nigeria.
\n\nWhere incidents have been reported, Nigerian authorities have sought to shut down production centres, particularly for unlicensed traditional gin. Avoid drinking unlicensed products.
\n\nEven small amounts of methanol can kill. It is not possible to identify methanol in alcoholic drinks by taste or smell. See Travel Aware Spiking and methanol poisoning for information about how to reduce the risks.
\n\nSeek urgent medical attention if you or someone you are travelling with show the signs of methanol poisoning after drinking.
\n\nYour SIM must be linked to a Nigerian Identification Number. Get guidance from your network operator.
\n\nNigeria has the largest Muslim population in sub-Saharan Africa. You should behave and dress modestly, particularly in the north and when visiting religious sites.
\n\nRamadan is a holy month for Muslims. The dates vary by year. During this time, in any predominantly Muslim area you should not:
\n\nBe aware that driving may be erratic, particularly at dusk when people are getting back home to eat.
\n\nPossession or use of illegal drugs, including cannabis, carries severe penalties in Nigeria. You should expect a long jail sentence and heavy fines for possessing, using or smuggling illegal drugs, including when transiting.
\n\nNigeria has excellent technology and security for detecting illegal items at the border. This is also used to scan the baggage of transiting passengers.
\n\nPhotography of government, military buildings and airports may lead to arrest.
\n\nSame-sex sexual activity is illegal in Nigeria with penalties of up to 14 years in prison. Some northern states observe Sharia Law which can prescribe the death penalty for same-sex sexual activity.
\n\nThe ‘Same Sex Marriage Prohibition Act’ provides for lengthy prison sentences for anyone involved in same-sex marriages, including those who help arrange, carry out or even attend events perceived to be same-sex weddings. The Act also criminalises anyone who helps register, organise or participate in gay groups, organisations, or those who publicly promote same-sex relationships.
\n\nSame-sex relationships are generally viewed as socially unacceptable in Nigerian society. There is an increased risk of violence, attacks and threats, such as blackmail and intimidation against anyone being thought to be part of the LGBT+ community or supporting their rights.
\n\nRead more advice for LGBT+ travellers.
\n\nThe Nigerian Government has issued a warning about travelling at night in North Central Nigeria in response to security concerns.
\n\nIf you are planning to drive in Nigeria, see information on driving abroad. Road travel across Nigeria can be dangerous. Driving standards are low, road conditions often poor and vehicle road-worthiness a serious safety issue. There are a high number of fatalities on Nigeria’s road. Traffic in some areas, including Lagos, can be slow moving and you may need to allow extra time for journeys. Take a mobile and a supply of bottled water with you when travelling by car.
\n\nYou can drive in Nigeria with a UK driving licence for up to 3 months. If necessary renew or update it. The minimum legal age for driving is 18.
\n\nIf you’re staying longer, you will need a 1968 international driving permit (IDP). For stays of more than a year, you will have to get a Nigerian driver’s licence.
\n\nLimit travel after dark outside city centres as far as possible. Avoid quiet and poorly lit roads. Be alert when in traffic jams or at traffic lights. Keep car windows up and doors locked, and make sure valuables are out of sight. If you feel your vehicle is being followed, drive to the nearest place of safety (such as a police station).
\n\nTake care when driving outside cities and consider travelling in convoy.
\n\nThere are authorised and unauthorised vehicle checkpoints throughout Nigeria. Some are for security checks, others to extort small payments of money. Slow down at any type of checkpoint and stay calm.
\n\nThere has been an increasing trend of illegal vehicle checkpoints on major supply and commercial routes in northern Nigeria. This includes attacks on major roads into Maiduguri in Borno State, including the A3 Maiduguri-Damaturu road. These attacks have targeted civilians, security forces and aid workers.
\n\nAdditional checks are in place at the Nigeria-Benin, Nigeria-Niger and Nigeria-Cameroon land borders. If you’re planning to make a land crossing from Nigeria, check with the local authorities for the latest information before travelling.
\n\nThere is a particularly high level of crime and little regulatory oversight on public transport, including taxis, in Nigeria. Taxis and long-distance buses are often poorly maintained, uninsured and driven by unqualified drivers. Most major hotels offer cars for hire with drivers, so use these where possible. Taxis, including online taxi app services, can pose a kidnap risk to passengers.
\n\nIf you are expecting a greeter or driver to collect you at any of Nigeria’s international airports, make sure they properly identify themselves before you set off. Criminals posing as greeters are a problem.
\n\nThere have been armed robberies and incidents of piracy in Nigerian waters, the wider Gulf of Guinea, and on the rivers and harbours in the Niger Delta area. Mariners should get professional security advice and take appropriate precautions.
\n\nSwimming off the coast of Nigeria is sometimes dangerous due to rip tides and undertows, with drownings occurring each year. Get local advice before swimming.
\n\nSee water safety on holiday from the Royal Life Saving Society.

\n\nInsecurity is increasing across Nigeria. Kidnapping, violent crime, and intercommunal violence occur throughout all regions of Nigeria. You should also read FCDO’s overall travel advice and safety and security advice.
\n\nFCDO advises against all travel to:
\n\nFCDO advises against all but essential travel to:
\n\nThere is a high and increasing threat from Boko Haram or Islamic State West Africa, particularly around transport hubs, religious areas and large gatherings. Humanitarian personnel, vehicles, supplies and infrastructure can be targeted by terrorists and criminals.
\n\nThere is a high threat of kidnap and violent attacks. Intercommunal tensions can lead to outbreaks of violence. During the dry season when roads are more easily accessible this risk is heightened.
\n\nRegular military operations are ongoing in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states. There is a risk of retaliatory attacks.
\n\nIf you’re in the north-east against FCDO advice, keep in touch with the authorities and the wider community on the security situation. Make sure your safety procedures and contingency plans are up to date. If you are working, make sure you have confidence in your employer’s ability to extract you in the event of any emergency.
\n\nIf in Maiduguri, be aware that if security were to deteriorate any further, it could be extremely difficult for you to leave the city. Be mindful of the risks of travelling by road in this area and take precautions.
\n\nFCDO advises against all travel to:
\n\nFCDO advises against all but essential travel to:
\n\nBanditry and violent attacks are frequent and there is a high threat of kidnap. Incidents of intercommunal violence occur and trains are vulnerable to attack. If you’re travelling in the north-west against FCDO advice, be extremely cautious and monitor local media.
\n\nFCDO advises against all but essential travel to:
\n\nThis advice is due to criminal and militant activity and incidents of intercommunal violence.
\n\nThe outer suburbs of Abuja, within the Federal Capital Territory are prone to varying levels of violence, and the safety of daily activity is unpredictable. Violent crime, often involving firearms, has increased and spread from the outer suburbs to more central, wealthier areas of the city.
\n\n\n\nBe cautious when travelling in the Federal Capital Territory. Take advice from trusted contacts and be prepared to cancel or limit your plans. British Government staff in Nigeria have been advised to restrict travel to an area broadly within the Abuja metropolitan area.
\n\nThere are protests in Abuja from time to time, which can turn violent. Monitor local media, avoid demonstrations and large gatherings and follow instructions from local police and security forces.
\n\nThere has been an increase in intercommunal violence in Benue State, with a number of deaths reported. There may be increased security presence in parts of the state.
\n\nThere has also been an increase in violence in Kwara State, with a number of deaths reported. There may be an increased security presence in parts of the state.
\n\nFCDO advises against all travel to the riverine areas (the river and swamp locations accessible by boat, but not by road) of Delta, Bayelsa, Rivers, Akwa Ibom and Cross River states.
\n\nFCDO advises against all but essential travel to:
\n\nMilitant groups are active across the Niger Delta region and have carried out a number of attacks on oil and gas infrastructure. There’s a high risk of armed robbery, criminality and kidnap in the Niger Delta region.
\n\nThere have been attacks and targeted killings. Some attacks have been on isolated roads and in remote locations, but they could occur in metropolitan areas. There is also a heightened risk of indiscriminate attacks on police and security infrastructure, which may affect bystanders. A number of states have imposed curfews. Be cautious about travelling in remote areas at night and follow local news and information outlets.
\n\nSecessionist groups are active in the south-east and attacks and violent clashes often occur with the military and other security forces. Although foreign nationals are not normally targeted, there is a risk you could be caught in an attack. Some previous protests have turned violent. In Imo State there is an emerging trend of successionist groups using improvised explosive devices though the overall number of incidents remains relatively low. Anyone travelling to the region should exercise increased caution and continue to follow FCDO travel advice. Monitor local government announcements and media reporting.
\n\nViolent crimes such as mugging, kidnapping, car-jacking and armed robbery are common, particularly in the larger cities. Intercommunal violence is common and can flare up suddenly. Large-scale terrorist attacks are rare, but Islamic State West Africa claimed 2 attacks in 2022. While these attacks have not targeted foreign nationals, try to avoid being caught up in such incidents.
\n\nBe cautious when travelling in Lagos, particularly on the mainland, which attracts high levels of crime and where security levels can be unpredictable. Street crime is a significant risk across Lagos, particularly in crowded areas. Take sensible measures to guard your possessions and reduce your personal risk. Be cautious when moving around Lagos at night, risks can be particularly high when moving around the city by foot.
\n\nBe alert and take any security advice given by your hotel, employer or your hosts.
