The federal government Monday warned Nigerians travelling to Europe and United States of America to beware of fraudsters in those countries.
Minister of Information and Culture Lai Mohammed said this at a media parley tagged “The 5th edition of the PMD Administration Scorecard 2015-2023” in Abuja.
“Before today’s presentation, please permit me to quickly make an announcement. It has come to the attention of the government that Nigerian travellers to the United States and some countries in Europe are having their belongings, especially money and international passports, stolen at an increasingly high rate.
“The most recent victims of this are travelers to the UK, most of whom were dispossessed of their belongings at high brow shops, particularly in the high street of Oxford. We have therefore decided to advise Nigerians travelling to Europe and the United States to take extra precaution to
avoid being dispossessed of their belongings.
“This is not your typical travel advisory. Issuing such is the prerogative of our embassies/high commissions as well as the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It is merely a piece of advice to Nigerians who may be visiting the affected parts of the world,” Mohammed said
