The US Embassy in Abuja has issued a security alert to Americans ahead of the #FreeNnamdiKanuNow protests scheduled for Monday, October 20, in the nation’s capital.
The embassy issued the warning in a statement published on its website on Friday, cautioning that the protest could lead to disruptions and potential violence.
It urged US citizens to steer clear of the protest areas and limit their movement across the city.
“The US Embassy in Abuja informs US citizens that the Free Nnamdi Kanu Now protest has called for peaceful demonstrations on Monday, October 20th, 2025, in Abuja.
“There may be roadblocks, traffic congestion, and confrontations between police and protestors that could turn violent around Eagle Square and the Central Business District.
“The Embassy advises all U.S. citizens to avoid this area and to severely limit all movement throughout the city on Monday, October 20th,” the statement read in part.
