Abstract
In Nigeria, pervasive insecurity, characterized by Boko Haram massacres, suicide bombings, Fulani herder genocides, abductions, and armed robberies, has led to massive loss of life and property. Traditional approaches like curfews, states of emergency, and military checkpoints have proven inadequate, primarily due to late emergency call responses caused by the inability to quickly identify dangerous zones. Utilizing a Design Science Research methodology, this study designs, develops, and evaluates the Security and Prompt Protection (SAPP) mobile application. SAPP is engineered to bridge these security gaps by enabling victims in perilous situations to instantly alert both loved ones and security agencies, while simultaneously providing their real-time geographical location for immediate, targeted assistance
