Armed escort services

Ensuring a high level of security for both international and local clients while they are travelling in Nigeria.

Working with the full authorisation of the Inspector General of Police to use the services of the Nigerian Mobile Police Force (MOPOL), our dedicated armed escort teams ensure a high level of security for our clients by minimising their exposure to possible risks as they travel from one location to another.

Covering all major cities in Nigeria, with hubs in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and Benin City, as well as Uyo, our armed escort services include:

·         Airport pick-up and drop-off at any destination in Nigeria

·         VIP airport meet and greet

·         Intra and inter-city transportation

·         Provision of all types of premium passenger vehicles, including buses

Available 24-hours a day, our armed escort teams are made up of personnel who have been specifically trained in protective techniques to ensure a high level of safety and security for all of our passengers in any situation, and hardened vehicles for elevated threat environments.

Each armed escort team consists of escort vehicles (in lead and chase formation), an escort commander (trained in first aid and protective security tactics), professional drivers (trained in defensive and evasive driving tactics) and fully equipped armed policemen.

Our armed escort teams have an exemplary record in getting our clients to their desired destination safely and securely. Unexpected road traffic incidents can happen at any time, but with our highly trained teams and a back-up vehicle readily available to step in and transport our clients if required, passengers can sit back and relax, certain in the knowledge that they will be kept safe at all times.

In addition, we offer clients our full Journey Management services, whereby clients can benefit from the safety and security of travelling in our vehicles, but due to a lower threat level may not require an armed escort back-up vehicle.

VIP & Executive Protection Services

We also offer specialist VIP / Executive Protection services to corporate clients and Ultra High Net Worth individuals that need an additional level of round the clock protection. Our dedicated Executive Protection Teams use the latest techniques available to ensure our VIP clients are kept safe at all times, regardless of where they need to travel to.

Our close protection services are available for high profile individuals such as business and corporate executives, entertainment personalities and religious leaders. We can also provide executive protection services to donor agencies that operate in Nigeria, such as the United Nations, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and other aid agencies from the European Union.
