We advise against all travel to the Bakassi Peninsula as well as the riverine areas in Rivers, Delta and Bayelsa. There is an extreme risk to your security in this area. Armed militants have attacked oil and gas facilities in the Warri area of Delta State. In the Niger Delta there has been an increase in armed attacks against foreigners as well as an increase in crime and kidnapping.
There is violent crime in Lagos and increasingly so in the south of the country.
For the rest of Nigeria, there is some risk to your security. We advise you to be vigilant at all times especially when undertaking road travel. Do not travel after dark. Avoid demonstrations and large gatherings.
Travellers also need to be aware of a high risk of piracy and armed robbery against ships in Nigerian waters, rivers and harbours.
