The Embassy of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in Kuwait has advised Nigerian nationals in Kuwait and Bahrain to remain vigilant and adhere strictly to safety directives issued by host authorities amid prevailing regional tensions.
This was disclosed in a circular issued by the Nigerian Embassy.
The advisory comes as tensions continue to rise across the Gulf region, prompting several governments to issue safety updates to residents and foreign nationals.
The Embassy urged Nigerians in both countries to stay alert, follow official safety guidelines, and remain calm at all times.
It further encouraged nationals to closely monitor local news and official announcements from the Kuwaiti and Bahraini governments.
To strengthen communication, the Embassy announced the creation of a dedicated mobile and WhatsApp line to ensure active engagement with Nigerians in Kuwait and Bahrain.
The advisory follows escalating tensions in the Gulf region after military exchanges involving the United States, Israel and Iran. Several Gulf states, including Bahrain and Kuwait, host strategic foreign military assets, raising security concerns across the region.
The Police stressed that Nigeria remains stable and warned that any attempt to import foreign ideological or religious tensions into the country would be met with the full weight of the law.
