Best Time to Travel
The best time to travel is early in the morning (between 6:00 AM and 7:00 AM) to avoid city traffic in Ilorin and Benin, and to ensure you complete the journey in daylight. Avoid traveling at night due to increased security risks and poor visibility on some road sections.
Safety Rating
Medium. Day travel is generally safe, but travelers should be aware of certain risks. Road conditions can vary, with some sections having potholes, especially during the rainy season, which can lead to accidents. While less frequent on this specific route during the day, incidents of armed robbery or 'one-chance' (kidnapping for ransom or theft) are known to occur on Nigerian highways, particularly in isolated stretches or at night. There are numerous police and military checkpoints along the route, which are generally for security but can sometimes lead to delays.
