Stay safe — current advisories
Frequent attacks on farming communities and travellers after dusk. Travel in daylight convoys and inform a relative of your route.
Repeat kidnappings on the road. The standard-gauge rail and Kaduna airport are safer options.
Banditry corridor. Move only with state-approved security escorts; some LGAs have movement restrictions.
Boko Haram / ISWAP active in border LGAs. Follow military advisories and travel only on cleared routes.
Unofficial enforcement still occurs in parts of Imo, Anambra, Abia. Plan critical travel for other weekdays.
Petty crime spikes after 9pm at Oshodi, Obalende, Mile 12. Use ride-hail with shared trip info.
Risk of pipeline-related ambushes. Avoid stopping in remote creek roads, especially around Bayelsa and Rivers riverine LGAs.
Document any police use of force on video; share with verified outlets (Premium Times, Sahara Reporters). Know your rights — see EiE Nigeria 'know your rights' guide.
