I believe the best state policing outfits with respect to upholding dignity and human rights will be in the NW.

The worst will be from the SE.

I base this on current state backed vigilante activities with the north having hardly any complaints surrounding their vigilantes.

The SE vigilante outfits are more criminal than the criminals they are expected to check and have been known to terrorise and extort the very people they are meant to secure.

From the most dreaded and barbaric Bakasi Boys whose atrocities include public executions by butchering to the current regional outfit Ebube Agwu who were no different than Bakassi boys. Even ESN an BLA who claimed to protecting the people of SE from their usual Fulani jihadist bogeyman have committed more brutal and vicious crimes on their own people than any Fulani terrorist .

Even the NPF in the SE is by far the most brutal with the likes of James Nwafor.

If this state policing comes about, I make bold to say that the SE will be far the worse off.

South West. Ondo to be precise.

Going by the experience of Hisbah, it has to be a core North state.

Hisbah is the biggest waste of financial resources that has ever been carried out in the name of law enforcement.

SOUTH EAST...


more characters needed

Another targeted attack on south east. This is a clear case of physiological attack on group of people because of your prejudice. Tell me, all these you mentioned, how will it be different from other regions if there is no solid structure and oversight?

Someone should tell this op the most peaceful region since 5 years so he can stop vomiting from the nose .

The call for state police is made possible by his radical brothers rampaging the north and threatening to sack south west

if here will be anything left in the SW by then,,,large swats of kwara lie abandoned by Yoruba and taken over by genocidal Fulani interest, kogi is going and test runs are happening in Oyo state yet bigots have the luxury to bicker on the SE? SHAME!!!

Ojiofor:

And why then are the vigilante up north not misbehaving like your terrorist and criminal vigilantes.?

Even the likes of James Nwafor who was heading the dreaded Akwuzu SARS was shielded by Obi despite mountain of petitions sent to Obi detailing the madness that was going on in that police division.

And don't tell me Obi had no control over James Nwafor when all the cases he was handling should have been trialed in an Anambra state court .

Obi had the powers to constitute a judiciary enquiry over the flood of petitions both locally and from international rights organization but never acted.

Same Obi even intervened and had the then IGP not transfer Nwafor out of Akwuzu SARS and same Obi even introduced Nwafor to his successor to be appointed CSO to Obiano.

SE is a hobbessian shithole and Bakassi boys and other vigilbte outfits plus ESN proves that the SE needs an external force colonizer to maintain order and peace.

State policing in the SE will be by far the worst across the polity.

Ojiofor:

The state police will be regulated. They won't be above the law and they will only operate within the power given to them by the legislative authority.

The worst will be from the SE.

No security organization can be worse than Nigeria armed forces.

Lagos police will become the worst with tribalism.

Without question is SW.

Ogun, Lagos in particular will the lead in the team because of the high level of wicked politicians in that area.

Whilst I agree the very erudite DomPerignon is not doing right to target the thread at SE and didn't really didn't need to do it, all of this is IMHO pushback against Obidients targeting Ala Yoruba with nonsense because Peter Obi lost to President Tinubu.

Be part of those stopping the problem at source, when you see Obidients typing blatant lies against ala Yoruba, call it out. That way we wouldn't need to have threads like this.

Here are the statistical data and a referenced table showing which region in Nigeria is most peaceful based on reported crime incidence from the Crime Experience and Security Perception Survey (CESPS) 2024 by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) — the most recent comprehensive national crime data available:



📊 Crime Incidence by Geopolitical Zone — CESPS 2024 (May 2023–April 2024)

Geopolitical Zone Estimated Total Crime Incidents (Households)

South-East (SE) ≈ 6,176,031 — lowest in Nigeria
South-West (SW) ≈ 6,900,000
South-South (SS) ≈ 7,700,000
North-East (NE) ≈ 7,900,000
North-Central (NC) ≈ 8,800,000
North-West (NW) ≈ 14,400,000 — highest in Nigeria


Sources: National Bureau of Statistics’ CESPS 2024 data reporting crime incidents by zone.

📌 Key Points from the Statistics

✅ South-East recorded the lowest number of crime incidents among all six regions — about 6.2 million cases, making it the most peaceful region in Nigeria by this metric.

✅ By contrast, the North-West recorded the highest crime incidents at around 14.4 million, indicating the least peaceful region by incidence count.

✅ These figures represent reported household crime experiences, which include incidents like robbery, theft, and other criminal acts covered by the survey.


📌 Important Notes on Interpretation

These statistics measure total crime incidents, not crime rates per capita. Because each region has different population sizes, per-capita rates can shift the ranking if adjusted for population.

Other analyses (e.g., violence fatalities per 100,000 population from NigeriaWatch) sometimes identify most peaceful states differently based on death rates rather than incident counts — for example, Gombe and Cross River report among the lowest fatalities per 100 k in some analyses.


📊 Summary

✅ Most peaceful region (by reported crime incidence): South-East geopolitical zone (≈ 6.2 million incidents) — lowest overall crime count in Nigeria.

❗ Other peace/security indices (e.g., fatalities or kidnapping numbers) may give different state-level peace rankings, but the South-East consistently shows lower crime incident totals in the latest NBS household survey.

Ignore the hypocrite

South East is the safest region in Nigeria in 2025.

Don't just take my word for it. This is what the numbers say, straight from the National Bureau of Statistics and the European Union Agency for Asylum.

Let me break down these official numbers in plain English, so anyone can understand. I will show you the types of crimes hitting each zone hardest, and why stable governance is a big reason the South East is on top. I will also give you the hard stats on deaths, armed robberies, and kidnappings from reports up to mid-2025. You will see that the northern zones sadly take on 80 to 90 percent of all this bad news.

First, here is the big picture. From May 2023 to April 2024, Nigerians reported a total of 51.9 million crimes.

Now, let's go zone by zone.

NORTH WEST 👇👇👇

This zone alone had 14.4 million crimes. That means almost one out of every three crimes in Nigeria happened here.

Main Crimes: Banditry (armed gangs raiding villages for ransom), mass kidnappings, and arms smuggling.

Deaths: Over 3,000 people were killed in just the first half of 2025 from bandit raids.

Armed Robberies: 157 reported cases in 2023, and it got even worse in 2024 and 2025.

Kidnappings: A massive 1.42 million incidents. That is 63% of the entire country's total. We are talking about weekly school kidnappings in states like Katsina and Zamfara.

NORTH CENTRAL 👇👇👇

This zone had 8.8 million crimes.

Main Crimes: Farmer-herder clashes (bloody fights over land), abductions, and communal violence that burns down farms.

Deaths: Around 1,000 people were killed in the first half of 2025.

Armed Robberies: Very high, with dozens of home invasions every week in places like Plateau State.

Kidnappings: Over 1,000 abductions in 2023-24, with mass kidnappings in Benue State.

SOUTH WEST 👇👇👇

This zone had about 7.5 million crimes.

Main Crimes: Urban problems like armed robbery, carjacking on Lagos roads, and cult clashes between rival gangs.

Deaths: About 400 crime-related killings in the first half of 2025.

Armed Robberies: 136 cases reported in 2023, leading the country for city crimes.

Kidnappings: 225 tracked in 2023-24, with an increase in kidnappings in upscale areas near Ogun State.

SOUTH SOUTH 👇👇👇

This zone had about 5.8 million crimes.

Main Crimes: Pipeline vandalism, gang activity in the Delta creeks, and kidnappings at sea by militants.

Deaths: Roughly 500 from cult wars and oil sabotage in the first half of 2025.

Armed Robberies: Over 100 cases in hotspots like Rivers and Edo states.

Kidnappings: 295 abductions in 2023-24, including people snatched from boats off the coast of Bayelsa.

NORTH EAST 👇👇👇

This zone had about 5.5 million crimes.

Main Crimes: Terrorism from Boko Haram and ISWAP, including bombings, daily village attacks, and abductions.

Deaths: Over 1,500 people were killed from insurgent attacks in the first half of 2025.

Armed Robberies: Lower, but mostly linked to the general chaos of the terror insurgency.

Kidnappings: Over 1,000 in 2023-24, including hundreds of women and children taken from camps.

SOUTH EAST 👇👇👇

Now, let's look at the South East. This zone had 6.2 million crimes. Wait, that number might look high at first, until you check the population.

The South East has only 22 million people, while the North West has over 50 million. When you divide the number of crimes by the population, the South East has the lowest crime rate in the entire country.

Even looking at the raw numbers, it is still safer than every single northern zone, and also safer than the South West and South South when you focus on the really serious crimes like kidnappings, killings, and bandit attacks.

So, what are the crimes in the South East?

Main Crimes: Mostly low-level stuff like petty theft (someone snatching a phone in a market) or the occasional communal clash over land. No daily bombings or mass village raids.

Deaths: Under 100 in the first half of 2025, mostly from isolated cult clashes.

Armed Robberies: Low, with about 80 to 100 cases per year.

Kidnappings: Just 214 tracked in 2023-24. This is tiny compared to the millions in the North. Most are low-ransom cases, not mass abductions of school children or church congregations.

Why the South East is the most stable on governance.

The EUAA report points out that the South East has better state control and community policing. This means our governors and local vigilantes actually work together to hold ground against troublemakers. We don't have the chaos of northern insurgencies or Delta militancy.

Northern zones score very low on global governance indexes because their institutions are weak, which lets violence spread. In the South East, our stability stops the fire from getting out of control. This means fewer high-profile deaths, a quicker police response, and communities that are more likely to report crimes.

So, in simple terms, here is the safety ranking:

1. South East – Safest (petty theft, occasional land disputes; strong local control).

2. South West – Second (robbery and cults; busy cities but better policing).

3. South South – Third (oil sabotage and gangs; the resource curse is real).

4–6.The three Northern zones – Where the real fire is burning (bandits, terrorists, herder wars; weak governance lets it rage).

The only reason many people, even some Igbos, think the South East is a war zone is because of bad PR. Pure and simple.

Our South East governors are not loud enough with the true story. Good PR is not about lying; it is about shouting the real facts from the rooftop so the whole world can hear, including how our stable governance stops big crimes before they can happen.

You see people from other regions mocking Igbos online, calling the South East a "terrorist zone." I have even seen some people in Delta State saying they don't want to be grouped with the South East because of "insecurity." Brother, the joke is on them. They are running away from the safest zone to places where pipelines explode every month.

Whenever someone tries to prove the South East is unsafe, they always bring up old stories from years ago. They cannot name anything big that happened last week or last month because nothing like that is happening, all thanks to that quiet stability. Meanwhile, in other zones, fresh bad news is coming out almost every day. You do not have to go looking for it.

Our South East governors need to wake up, come together, and push the true image of our region hard. They need to share the facts on crime and our governance wins. And we, the ordinary people, must also help by sharing the real facts every chance we get.

Facts do not lie.

South East is the safest region in Nigeria today.

Arrant nonsense.

Even going per capita, with just 22 million people and recorded crime at 6.2million, SE still remains the highest .

If NE that is facing a full blown insurgency which has exploded crime rates has 50 million people with recorded crime of 8.2 million, that means SE with less than half the population of the NE but a crime rate just 25% less has a higher crime rate than the war torn NE.

Putting it into per capita , with 22 million residents and 6.6 million recorded crime , that is one in three people will be victims of a crime.

Compared to the NE of 50millon , and crime recorded of 8.2 million, this gives us a figure of one in six people or just 15% of the population facing full blown terrorist attacks .

So with 30% of SE residents prone to be victims of a crime compare to 15% in the NE, doesn't that tell you that SE is more crime ridden than the NE?

If we then exclude terrorist attacks and presume NE has returned to pre Boko Haram era, you will find that the SE will be the crime capital of the country.

It's understandable but I thought Obidient movement was a national political movement. Besides I'm not in any political movement unless a case that is directly affecting SE or Igbo group. I must commend Nairaland moderators for their efforts in containing Igbophobia which almost eroded the value of the forum in recent years.
With that said, I don't see any reason why a national discuss should target a specific group of people just because it's convenient. If you feel Obidient movement targets Yoruba as a group, and you made your case, every reasonable person will Identify with you. I believe the moderators of the forum will as well identify that and take actions.
