Aim:
This project is aimed at mapping or collating salient risks, threats, safety concerns, crime, terrorism or violence extremism hotspots representative of Nigeria’s cities and 36 states of the country. This research became exigent given the paucity of up-to-date official crime survey and statistics in Nigeria. This project is not exhaustive but a work-in-progress that will hopefully dovetail into employing crime mapping technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information System) amongst others to map violent crime, extremism in Nigeria. Ultimately this research will aid designation and proactive prevention of criminal activities or conflicts, crime analysis and criminal profiling, risk assessment, early warning disaster reduction system (EWS), emergency planning, peacebuilding, criminal justice and law enforcement, election security planning and monitoring, travel security planning and destination intelligence for individuals, local and foreign organizations.

Below is a guide to crime incidents, violent extremism, flashpoints or threat hotspots representative of Nigeria’s six geopolitical zones and 36 states of the federation:
1. South-West Nigeria consists of six states: Ekiti, Ogun, Ondo, Oyo, Lagos and Ondo. Crime and Security threats representative of South West Nigeria include: high rate of ritual killing, cultism, frequent area boys fracas, kidnapping, carjacking, rape incidents, political/election violence, advance fee fraud or 419, proliferation of illegal drugs, traffic gridlock/robberies especially in Lagos.
