“US Embassy Suspends All Visa Appointments in Nigeria Due to Rising Tensions”.

The U.S. Embassy in Abuja canceled all visa appointments on March 4, 2026, due to security concerns related to potential protests over the U.S.-Iran conflict.

Affected applicants will be contacted about rescheduling, and the public is advised to follow the embassy’s website and social channels for updates.

The embassy warned of possible large demonstrations in Abuja, which could escalate into violence, urging U.S. citizens to remain indoors and take precautions.

Recent peaceful protests by the Islamic Movement in Nigeria (IMN) in northern states have expressed solidarity with Iran and condemned U.S.–Israeli airstrikes.
