Nigeria's high commission in Kenya issued the advisory after some Kenyans attributed the recent high-profile murders of two young women to Nigerian men.

Authorities arrested a Kenyan suspect in one of the murders, while in the other case, a foreigner with a Mozambican passport has been detained.

Despite this, some Kenyans have speculated that one of the suspects could be a Nigerian national.

The speculation has fuelled attacks against Nigerians on social media, with some accusing them of perpetrating femicide and violence against Kenyan women.

Kenya hosts a significant Nigerian population, especially in the capital, Nairobi.
