 The United States has warned of an impending terrorist attack in some parts of Nigeria.

This information came to limelight following the bomb explosion which occurred yesterday at Nyanya, an outskirt of the Federal Capital Territory, which led to the death of at least sixteen people.

According to Jon Gambrell, a Press reporter currently who made the content of the said warning public, the US authorities warned of a possible terror threat which may involve Sheraton Hotels in Lagos.

The security message was reportedly issued today by the US Consular General in Lagos also stated that US citizens should avoid all travel to Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe States.

This it says is as a result of the May 14, 2013 state of emergency announcement for those states by the Federal Government.

The announcement which was made accessible to the country’s citizens in Nigeria says, “As of late April, groups linked with terrorism allegedly deliberate to mount an indefinite attack against the Sheraton Hotel in Nigeria, near the city of Lagos.

“There is no supplementary information regarding which of the two Sheraton Hotels in Lagos was the possible target, or if both of the Sheraton Hotels are possible targets,” it says.
The press release, however, did not provide further information on the timing or technique of attack; thereby send a note of warning to all United States citizens to avoid these hotels.
