The US has asked family members of its employees resident in Abuja to leave.
This is contained in the latest travel advisory issued by the US Consulate in Nigeria.
The first of such warning was issued on Sunday after which at least nine foreign missions raised alarm that Abuja was being targeted for attacks.
Among the nations that have raised the alarm are UK, Canada, Australia, Ireland, Denmark, Bulgaria, India and Germany.
But the Federal Government has assured Nigerians that the nation’s capital is safe.
Despite this, there have been unconfirmed reports of foreigners leaving the country in droves.
On Thursday, one of the biggest malls in Abuja shut down indefinitely, citing safety concerns.
