Following violent protests and riots in several UK cities, the Nigerian High Commissioner to the United Kingdom has issued a warning to the Nigerian community to exercise caution. Nigerians are advised to avoid protest areas and large gatherings due to the heightened risk of violence, particularly targeting migrants.

The violence in the UK began as an anti-immigration protest fueled by misinformation on social media, which falsely claimed that the suspect responsible for a stabbing attack that left three children dead in Southport, northern England, was an “illegal immigrant.” This misinformation incited widespread anger. Initially organized on social media platforms like X and on WhatsApp and Telegram groups, the protests quickly escalated into disorder and violence. The unrest led to numerous injuries and significant attacks on law enforcement agencies, properties, and infrastructure.

In a statement, the Nigerian High Commissioner to the UK confirmed that the High Commission is closely monitoring the situation to ensure the safety of Nigerians residing in the country. The High Commission pledged to keep the Nigerian community informed of developments as they unfold.
Nigerians in the UK are urged to contact the High Commission in case of emergencies or if they have any information relevant to the Nigerian community.

The situation in the UK is dire for migrants, with rising anti-immigrant sentiment fueling fear and insecurity among Black communities. Anti-immigration rhetoric has grown significantly in recent years, with the far-right movement gaining momentum and driving these sentiments The current violence is a symptom of a deeper issue: the absence of effective migration policies. which have led to widespread discontent and civil unrest.
