Kidnapping Prevention: Practical Steps for Nigerians

Kidnapping is a serious concern in parts of Nigeria, but simple, consistent habits meaningfully reduce your risk. This guide shares practical steps anyone can adopt.

Reduce your risk

• Be unpredictable — vary routes, times and vehicles.
• Keep a low profile; avoid flaunting wealth online or in public.
• Stay alert to being followed; trust your instincts.
• Share your live location and itinerary with trusted people.
• For high-risk travel or movement, use a verified escort.

If you feel at risk

Do not ignore warning signs. Alter your plans, move to a safe, public place, and contact the authorities — NPF: 112 or 08032003913. For elevated or credible threats, arrange VIP close protection with armed NPF officers.
