Inside information says the British Home Office advised Arsenal FC to cancel their proposed trip to Nigeria because their safety could not be guaranteed. Recently a British citizen that was held hostage was killed during a rescue operation in one of the Northern states, and they categorically told the club that travelling to Nigeria at this time is suicidal.
Arsenal has planned a pre-season tour of Nigeria for this month July, but a press statement released on club website says the proposed trip is being cancelled due to logistic reasons.
