“The Federal Government has issued a travel advisory to Nigerian citizens planning protests to visit the United Kingdom, urging them to exercise caution due to an increased risk of violence following the recent tragic incident where three young girls were killed at a concert.”
A statement released by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Abuja on Monday August 5, and signed by Amb. Eche Abu-Obe, said the violence has assumed “dangerous proportions” as evidenced by reported attacks on law enforcement agents and damage to infrastructure.
The Foreign Affairs Ministry advised Nigerians in the UK to be extra vigilant and take measures as follows: avoiding political processions and protests, rallies or marches, avoiding crowded areas and large gatherings, and being vigilant and self-aware at all times
It would be recalled that demonstrations by far-right and other extra-parliamentary groups in parts of the UK in recent weeks have been large, and in some instances unruly. These disturbances have only been aggravated by the unfortunate deaths of the three girls, spawning an anti-immigration narrative, with particular emphasis on Muslim immigrants or persons of colour being targeted.
“On Tuesday, a significant number of anti-Muslim protesters engaged in a confrontation with law enforcement in a northern English town, which was still reeling from a devastating attack the previous day. The attack, which occurred at a Taylor Swift-themed event, resulted in the tragic deaths of three girls and left five other children critically injured.”
The horrific st@bbing incident in Southport, a quiet seaside town north of Liverpool, has shocked the nation. Police have said it was not linked to terrorism and that the suspect was born in the UK.
