Hello everyone, I'm looking to move to Kubwa, Abuja, next month as the area I concurrently stay in is no longer safe. There have been a couple of robbery attacks this year and more attempts are being made weekly.

I need a place where my family and I can feel secure and not have sleepless nights because we're not sure of what is coming.

By the way, I'm a freelancer and mainly work from home. So in addition to security, I'm looking for a place with an adequate supply of power.

Arab Road seems to meet these conditions but the prices of houses there right now are on the high side. The cheapest one-bedroom apartment is going for 1.2 million Naira and I don't want to spend more than 800k-1M on accommodation right now.

Is there a place in Kubwa that is still safe with a good power supply where one can get accommodation for less than a million?

I look forward to reading your responses. Thank you!

The prices something else. Thank you for your suggestions. However, two of the places you mentioned seemed to always make the news for insecurity. Byazhin and Chikakore.

They are OK. I have lived in both places in the past. They have armed security guards for protection at night. Where there are security concerns are usually the isolated vincinities close to the mountain side.

OP,

How do you do? Were you able to get a place? And if I may ask, why specifically Kubwa?

Hi, I'm doing well. I picked Kubwa because of affordability. Unfortunately, even Kubwa is gradually becoming as expensive as places in town.

To get a decent (livable and comfortable) one-bedroom now, you will need nothing less than 1 million in most parts. Some can even go as high as 1.5-2 million is estates.

Thank you for your response.

How would you rate the general safety across the major areas in Abuja? I understand anything bad can happen even in Asokoro as we saw with Somtochukwu in Katampe District.

Also, since you've left the area, where was it?
