Quarterly Security Advisory: Rising Threats and How We’re Keeping Our Clients Safe
At Mantra, our Security Threat Analysis Team has once again developed a detailed Quarterly Security Advisory to help our Clients stay informed and protected. This essential document provides our Clients with a comprehensive summary of the key security incidents across Nigeria in Q1 2025, alongside some practical steps that can be taken to safeguard their assets, employees and family members.
Nigeria’s Security Landscape in Q1 2025
The security environment in Q1 2025 has been very challenging for Nigeria. The number of violent incidents and fatalities have remained stubbornly high, demonstrating the ongoing significant challenges faced by security forces in tackling the issue of insecurity across the country.
The key trends we have observed are:
Fewer, yet far more deadly attacks by armed groups
Renewed threats to critical energy infrastructure in the oil producing areas of the Niger Delta
An increase in recorded kidnapping cases, including kidnap for ransom incidents in both urban and rural areas, highlighting the risks faced by travelers, public figures and business executives
Despite the significant security challenges, the Nigerian Government Security Forces have continued in their efforts to tackle these threats, by arresting terrorists and kidnappers and rescuing victims. This reflects the determination of security agencies to combat criminal activities and respond to the evolving threat landscape despite resource constraints.
Mantra’s Response: Intelligence-Led Security Solutions
At Mantra, we firmly believe that a sustained, collaborative and intelligence-led private-public security framework is essential for long-term stability in Nigeria. That is why we combine our local expertise from our in-house Security Threat Analysts, with our extensive network of national and international expert contacts from the wider security industry to better understand the threats and provide our clients with the very latest insights and practical safety recommendations.
Without a doubt, the latest security incident data highlights the critical need for individuals to take personal responsibility for their own safety and security and only seek support from licensed private security providers in Nigeria. We are ready to help in this regard.
