Who provides security escorts in Lagos?

In Nigeria, legitimate armed and uniformed escorts come from government-authorized forces — chiefly the Nigeria Security & Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) and the Nigeria Police Force (NPF). Avoid unverified "freelancers"; they carry legal and safety risks.

EZKUT connects you directly with badged, ID-verified NSCDC and NPF officers, so you know exactly who is protecting you. Read about the difference between NSCDC and NPF escorts.
