In just 30 days, the Safety Watch App has gone from an idea to a fast-rising force in Nigeria’s fight against crime, recording over 3,000 downloads, 1,650 active users, 200 reported incidents, and 120 safety alerts issued to communities across the country. With a 55% conversion rate from downloads to registered users, the app has quickly earned the trust of Nigerians seeking smarter, faster, and more collaborative ways to stay safe.
The platform delivers real-time security alerts triggered by unfolding events, helping users avoid dangerous situations before they happen. Through its GPS tracking feature, families and friends can share their live locations, ensuring quick response in emergencies and peace of mind when apart.
Safety Watch also empowers everyday citizens to take an active role in protecting their communities. Witnesses and victims of crime can instantly report incidents through the app, attaching photos or videos that enable authorities and neighbours to respond swiftly. This direct, user-driven reporting system has already proven effective in mobilising quick action and fostering collective vigilance.
Its benefits are clear — instant alerts keep users informed, GPS tracking strengthens family safety, fast reporting speeds up interventions, and the growing network of users is working together to make Nigerian streets safer.
The creators of Safety Watch have ambitious plans to expand its features and deepen partnerships with law enforcement, aiming to build one of the most effective community-based security networks in Africa.
More than an app, Safety Watch is becoming a nationwide movement — uniting technology, real-time information, and community action to make safety a shared responsibility.
