The United Nations Department of Security and Safety has warned its staff about a potential protest by the Islamic Movement of Nigeria.
The protest is in solidarity with Palestine over the raging conflict between Israel and Palestine.
The information is contained in a memo circulated to staff by the UNDSS.
Excerpts:
“Available information indicates that members of the Islamic Movement of Nigeria (IMN) have concluded plans to carry out protests in solidarity with Palestine.
“The IMN intends to visit key locations such as US/UK/ISRAEL Embassies during the protest. The host government police has deployed Tactical Teams in those areas.
“At this point, it is not clear if it will be visiting the UN House of Palestinian Embassy. The time of the Planned demonstration is also unclear.
“UN personnel are advised to avoid those areas and use alternative routes.”
