Intelligence.
Two definitive briefings on the threats reshaping risk across Nigeria — kidnap-for-ransom, armed banditry, financial-sector fraud, cybersecurity, maritime, and the 2026–2027 election cycle. Built for decision-makers who plan ahead.
Jul 2024 – Jun 2025
Two reports. One operating picture.
The Annual Report sets the data baseline of the year that has passed. The Mid-Year Outlook tracks the indicators shaping the months ahead. Read together, they give your organisation a complete, citable view of the Nigerian threat environment.

What the briefings reveal.
A snapshot of the findings your security and procurement teams need to plan around.
The cost of an incident vs. the cost of cover.
The reports quantify the threat in naira. The question for every board is simpler: what does a single incident cost relative to professional, accountable security cover?
Demanded in ransom in a single year
Against ₦2.57bn paid (Jul 2024–Jun 2025). A single mass-abduction or expat kidnap event can carry demands that dwarf an annual security budget.
One regulatory fine for control failure
The CBN's 2025 KYC-failure fine on a single institution — before counting ₦25.85bn in sector fraud losses or the duty-of-care exposure that follows an incident.
What a re-baseline assessment delivers
A structured assessment maps your real exposure and prioritises spend where one prevented incident can exceed years of cover. Grade A, ISO 9001, fully indemnified.
Figures are drawn directly from the published reports and named sources. They illustrate the scale of exposure, not a guaranteed outcome — every engagement begins with a confidential, site-specific assessment.
Trusted across sectors that cannot afford to be wrong.
From healthcare networks to universities and places of worship — organisations choose Sheriff Deputies for operational discipline, fast response, and alignment with their culture.
Their commitment to excellence earned our trust early — leading us to extend their services across multiple locations over a six-year partnership, with consistently high ethical standards and operational discipline.
Sheriff Deputies transformed our university's security architecture at a critical moment. From the first engagement, their professionalism, strategic thinking, and operational competence stood out.
After the nonchalance of our previous providers, the difference was immediate. Their guards are honest, they respond quickly to concerns, and their fees are reasonable.
