The ranking places Nigeria’s commercial capital in the high-crime category, making it the only Nigerian city featured on the list.
However, Numbeo’s index is based on crowd-sourced surveys and residents’ perceptions of crime and safety, rather than verified police records or official crime statistics. It considers factors such as robbery, burglary, physical attacks, harassment and how safe people feel walking alone during the day or at night.
South Africa had five cities among the top eight, with Pietermaritzburg ranked first, followed by Pretoria. Caracas in Venezuela and Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea occupied third and fourth positions respectively.
Lagos ranked ahead of cities including Damascus in Syria, New Orleans in the United States and Santo Domingo in the Dominican Republic.
The ranking has renewed attention on security concerns in Lagos and the need for improved policing, intelligence gathering and safer public spaces.
