<p>Ghana has denied issuing a travel advisory to its citizens to keep away from Abuja, the capital of Nigeria.</p> <p>A notice circulating since Wednesday evening bears the name and logo of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration.</p> <p>It indicated that Nigeria asked some hotels to close, citing &ldquo;the directive by local authorities to hotels operating in residential buildings to shut down&rdquo;.</p> <p>The ministry allegedly said there was a &ldquo;high danger of terrorism, criminality, inter-communal conflict, armed attacks, and kidnappings&rdquo;.</p> <p>In a rejoinder tweeted Thursday morning, the government declared the statement unauthorized.</p> <p>The purported warning followed similar advisories by the United States, United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, Germany, and others, since October.</p> <p>The Nigerian military had managed to limit insurgents to northeastern Nigeria but terror gangs managed to infiltrate the North-West and North-Central in recent years.</p> <p>Their incursion, largely through Niger and Kogi States, exposed the FCT where terrorists launched attacks at different times this year.</p> <p>On July 5, the Medium Security Correctional Centre in Kuje was breached hours after President Muhammadu Buhari&rsquo;s advance team was attacked en route to Katsina.</p> <p>On July 24, a contingent of the Presidential Guards Brigade was ambushed&nbsp;along the Kubwa-Bwari road. Eight personnel and more than 10 insurgents died.</p> <p>The military operation foiled the planned invasion of the Nigerian Law School and the nearby Veritas University, both in Bwari.</p> <p>The attack coincided with the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) alert that Abuja, Katsina, Kaduna, Kogi, Lagos and Zamfara were under threats.</p> <p>A memo by Deputy Commandant General (DCG) of Operations, D. D. Mungadi said Boko Haram and Islamic State&rsquo;s West Africa Province (ISWAP) already mobilized fighters and weapons.<img alt="" src="https://dailypost.ng/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/Ghana-rebuttal-.jpg" style="height:1130px; width:882px" /></p>
