About APABET
Security expertise
Security expertise
you can trust.
APABET Consulting Limited is a Nigerian security consultancy built on deep operational experience in physical security, risk intelligence, and personnel protection across West Africa's most challenging environments.
We exist to keep people safe, whether that's an NGO field team deploying to the Northeast, a VIP requiring close protection, or an organization needing to understand the security landscape before moving into a new area of operation.
APABET is a family name, a mark of personal accountability. When you engage APABET, you engage people who stand behind every assessment, every training, and every protection deployment.
Credibility
Field-tested expertise across Nigeria's complex security landscape, from the Northwest to the Niger Delta and Northeast.
Regional fluency
We understand that threats cross borders. Our intelligence extends to Niger, Chad, Cameroon, and the broader Sahel region.
People first
Security is ultimately about protecting people. Every solution we develop centers on human safety, dignity, and operational continuity.
Operational coverage
What each zone has faced this year, and how we support teams there.
We work across Nigeria's six geopolitical zones from our Abuja base. Choose a zone for its security summary from January to date, the crimes most often reported there and the support we offer. Based on public reports; the most recent detailed figures run to August 2026.
Nationally, the second quarter of 2026 was the most violent since ACLED began recording in 1997. SBM Intelligence counted at least 5,091 media-reported killings from April to June, and kidnap victims up 66% on a year earlier.
