PANIC GRIPS LAGOSIANS OVER ALLEGED TERRORISM THREAT!

Following a statement by the United States Department of State warning U.S. citizens that as of late April, "groups associated with terrorism allegedly planned to mount an unspecified attack against the Sheraton Hotel in Nigeria, near the city of Lagos", this has caused panic in some parts of Lagos State.

The US Dept. of State statement further disclosed that: "There was no further information regarding which of the two Sheraton Hotels in Lagos was the possible target, or if both of the Sheraton Hotels are possible targets. There is no further information regarding the timing or method of attack. U.S. citizens are cautioned to avoid these hotels at this time.

"The security situation in the country remains fluid and unpredictable. The U.S. Department of State strongly urges U.S. citizens in Nigeria to keep personal safety and health in the forefront of your planning.
