LAGOS, Nov 7 ― Canada is investigating an explosion at its embassy in Nigeria that killed two people, Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said yesterday, as Ottawa joined Washington and London in issuing a warning against nonessential travel to the West African nation.

Nigerian President Bola Tinubu's spokesperson said that there were deaths and injuries in a fire on Monday at the High Commission of Canada but did not give any figures. Canada's High Commission in Nigeria, without commenting on the explosion, said on social media that it had “temporarily suspended operations until further notice.”The embassy issued a travel advisory, warning against non-essential travel to Nigeria, including capital Abuja, “due to the unpredictable security situation throughout the country and the significant risk of terrorism, crime, inter-communal clashes, armed attacks and kidnappings.
