The Federal Government has advised Nigerians in the United States, the United Kingdom and European countries to beware of thieves dispossessing travellers of their belongings.
Minister of Information and Culture, Lai Mohammad advised on Monday at the 5th Edition of the President Muhammadu Buhari Administration Scorecard.
“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,” he said.
“The most recent victims of this are travellers to the UK, most of whom were dispossessed travellers’ 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 precautions to avoid being dispossessed of their belongings,” the minister added.
