“The U.S. Mission advises all U.S. citizens to be vigilant when at hotels and around areas frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers … locations where large crowds may gather; and government facilities,” the statement said.

The US Department of State had issued a global travel alert on Nov. 23, listing Boko Haram among groups that it said “continue to plan terrorist attacks in multiple regions.”
