Caveat emptor. Living in Nigeria is at your own risk. No city in Nigeria can be considered safe. A country in which criminals are emboldened to kidnap an IGP of police or a sitting governor's sister in-law and receive a ransome?.... Na God be my own protection. I don't know about any police. 36 Likes |

Im not surprised the statement is false. Nigerian police like saying stuff without any stat to back up statements. They recently said violent crime has reduced in 2019 without quantifying it. 9 Likes |

The sad thing is that Nigerian “journalists” (to use the term liberally)... Will begin to regurgitate this useless ‘parachute’ analysis as if it was factual. Unfortunately, most Nigerians are raised in a “repeat-after-me” culture... As can already be seen in some of the reflexive comments on this thread. SMH > 10 Likes |

For a question like this to be asked... one needs to first ask the following questions; what is crime? Just to put things into perspective Secondly this question needs to be answered; can Abuja as a city function without the police for a day? The answers to those questions will let you know Abuja's ranking in terms of crime rate globally. 4 Likes |

I still maintain that bad eggs in the police are in on the crimes in Abuja. Let's take car snatching as a case study; Every night in Abuja, car's are snatched from the owners at particular flashpoints, the police know this flashpoints but, they would sit in the comfort of their office waiting to issue police report. This report of course is not free. The night I was robbed, we were about 3 that were attacked around the same area(Wuse 2), the police man simply said " una sure say na real gun?, Sometimes bullet no dey am". Major entry and exit points in Abuja are not much, when the police are ready or when an elite falls victim, the crimes in Abuja (one chance, car snatching, kidnapping) would stop. 15 Likes 1 Share |

The crime rate in Abuja is grossly under reported . As it stands Lagos is safer compared to Abuja. Once chance in Abuja is very rampant, in fact one in 15 Vehicles in Abuja is a once chance robber (s). 11 Likes |

Abuja is not as safe as it used to be anymore. The police are not even helping matters. They know about these crimes. They want it to happen so you can report and they can extort you without they doing anything about it. Speaking from experience. The Police is not your friend, i repeat the police is not your friend. 6 Likes |
