Low incidence of major violent conflicts or high-profile abductions compared to regional neighbors. Although the challenges in the state might arise from forest-border kidnappings and cross-border criminal incursions from neighboring states like Kogi, Kwara, Ondo, and Osun states, there are considerable efforts by the security operatives in rescuing kidnap victims that might be hidden in the state’s forests.  Travelers are advised to stick to main arterial highways and should exercise caution on rural forest transit roads near the Kogi and Kwara state boundaries.
