The Uk advises citizens not to get close to Nigeria

The United Kingdom has advised its citizens
against travelling to areas close to the Nyanya
following the bomb attack that killed scores on
Monday morning.


"A bomb attack on a bus station in the Nyanya area
of Abuja on Monday 14 April has resulted in a number of casualties; we advise British nationals to
avoid the area," The Foreign and Commonwealth
Office (FCO) advised.


Around 117 000 British nationals visit Nigeria each
year.

Meanwhile, Foreign Secretary, William Hague condemned Abuja bomb attack and offered
continued UK support for Nigeria.
"I was deeply saddened to hear of the bomb
explosion in the east of Abuja.

I unreservedly
condemn those responsible and hope they are
swiftly brought to justice," he said. "I offer the British government's deepest
condolences to the bereaved and those who have
suffered injury. We will continue to work closely
with the Nigerian government to help them tackle
the threat from terrorism."
