Medium. Abuja is generally a safe city. However, travelers should be vigilant, especially when using shared public transport. 'One-chance' incidents (robbery in shared vehicles) can occur, particularly if traveling late at night or with unfamiliar drivers. Always prefer busy transport hubs during the day.
