Medium. While major roads are generally safe during the day, 'one-chance' incidents can occur, especially when traveling late at night or with unknown shared rides. Be aware of your surroundings and avoid displaying valuables. Pickpocketing is common at crowded bus stops like Mile 2, Oshodi, and CMS.
