US Embassy Suspends Visa Interviews In Abuja
The United States Embassy in Abuja has cancelled all visa appointments scheduled for Wednesday, March 4, 2026, citing security concerns over possible protests in the Federal Capital Territory.
The decision was announced in a public notice released on Tuesday.
According to the embassy, the move was taken “due to the potential for protests in Abuja,” and “all visa appointments on Wednesday, March 4, 2026” have been cancelled.
The mission said affected applicants would be contacted with guidance on how to reschedule their interviews.
The embassy urged the public to follow updates through its official website and social media platforms.
It also thanked applicants and stakeholders for their patience and cooperation.
The development comes after members of the Islamic Movement in Nigeria staged protests in Niger State over reports circulating online about the alleged assassination of Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in strikes reportedly involving the United States and Israel.
The claims have not been independently confirmed by international authorities.
