Nigeria Launches First Real-Time Security Monitoring App, “Safety Watch”

A new mobile application aimed at enhancing personal and community security has been launched in Nigeria. The app, named Safety Watch, is the country’s first real-time security monitoring platform, offering users access to live security alerts, location tracking, and instant crime reporting.

The developers say Safety Watch is designed to help Nigerians stay informed and proactive in the face of rising security concerns across the country.

Key features of the app include:

• Live Security Alerts: Users receive real-time updates about threats and incidents in their vicinity.
• Real-Time GPS Tracking: The app allows users to track their loved ones or share their location with trusted contacts during emergencies.
• Instant Crime Reporting: Witnesses or victims can report crimes directly through the platform, contributing to a community-sourced safety network.
• Route Planning Tools: The app provides security information for travelers commuting in cities like Lagos and Abuja, or anywhere across Nigeria.

According to the developers, Safety Watch was built with community engagement in mind. User-generated reports contribute to a collective safety map, aimed at fostering more secure neighborhoods nationwide.

“Whether you’re navigating urban traffic or facing a potential threat, Safety Watch keeps you informed and connected,” the company said in a statement. “Your safety is our priority.”

The app is now available for download on the Google Play Store.
