US Embassy Evacuation Signals Deepening Security Crisis, Ejiofor Warns

Human rights lawyer Ifeanyi Ejiofor has described the US decision to authorize non-emergency staff and their families to leave the Abuja embassy as a serious security warning for Nigeria. In his statement titled “When Foreign Missions Start Packing, It’s Not ‘Speculation’, It’s a Security Verdict,” Ejiofor argues that this move reflects a deteriorating security landscape rather than mere administrative caution. He highlights repeated terror attacks across the North‐West, North‐Central, North‐East and Middle Belt. He questions why the government remains consumed by 2027 election planning while communities face deadly assaults. Ejiofor calls for decisive action to address rising insecurity instead of relying on reactive statements and perception management.
