Nigeria: Relatives of abductees to protest In Abuja and Kaduna July 5

Event

Relatives of the abductees of the March 28 Abuja-Kaduna train attack plan to protest in Abuja and Kaduna on July 5. Organizers will hold demonstrations, including sit-in actions, along major routes and near key government facilities.

Increased security and localized road disruptions are likely near all protest sites. Police may quickly resort to force and riot control tactics to disperse protesters if they are overly disruptive. Further protests are possible until the release of the remaining abductees.

Advice

Avoid all demonstrations. Anticipate road traffic disruptions in Kaduna and Abuja July 5. If violence breaks out, leave the area immediately, and take shelter in a secure, nongovernmental building.
