Safety is a human right.
Chipon Alert is Lagos' first community-powered safety intelligence platform. We believe everyone deserves to know what's happening around them — before they step outside.
Know before you go.
In Lagos, a city of 20+ million, safety information is fragmented. Word-of-mouth travels slowly. News reports arrive too late. Official data doesn't capture what's happening right now, on your street.
Chipon changes that. We aggregate community reports, cross-reference them with verified data sources — NBS Nigeria, ACLED, HDX — and deliver real-time safety intelligence through heatmaps, route scoring, and instant alerts.
We're not building a tracking app or a surveillance tool. We're building a safety companion — one that respects your privacy while keeping you informed.
What we stand for.
Observe, Never Engage
Chipon is an intelligence tool, not a vigilante platform. We empower communities with information — never action.
Privacy by Design
Zero-knowledge architecture. Your location is ephemeral, your identity is yours, and every report can be anonymous.
Community First
12,000+ guardians verify every report. Our intelligence is only as strong as the trust between neighbors.
Speed Saves Lives
From report to broadcast in under 30 seconds. When safety matters, every second of latency is unacceptable.
How we got here.
From a simple idea — what if you could see safety data before leaving your house — to a live platform serving Lagos.
