Lagos State: 1 Police station to 121,913 citizens

Unending traffic and flooding are not the only challenges indigenes of Africa’s largest city have to worry about. Over the past few years, Lagos recorded a significantly high number of violent cases and now we know why. For every police station in Lagos, there are 31,180 Households and 121,913 people to be protected. So while Nigeria’s economic hub may be the fastest-growing state in the world because of its population, this same populace may very well be its undoing as insecurity threatens its prosperity.
