AceHub Technologies Ltd has announced the launch of famGuard, a free mobile application designed to support public safety and community vigilance in Nigeria. The app is now available on the Google Play Store, with an iOS version scheduled for release soon.
famGuard was developed in response to the growing impact of insecurity on daily life across Nigeria, including kidnappings, attacks on communities, and delayed access to emergency response. The public safety and community vigilance solution focuses on improving early warning, communication, and situational awareness among users.
“Insecurity has changed how people move, travel, and plan their lives across Nigeria,” said Prince Chukwuemeka, Founder and CEO of AceHub Technologies Ltd. “With famGuard, Nigerians can alert those they trust quickly during emergencies and share information that helps others stay aware as situations unfold.”
Built for Speed, Simplicity, and Practical Conditions
At the core of famGuard is a one-tap emergency alert feature. With a single tap on the screen, users can notify trusted contacts when they feel unsafe, reducing delays that often occur during high-stress situations.
The app also includes a decoy lock feature, which ensures that once an alert is triggered, no one can see that an alert was sent or identify who received it, even if the phone is taken or accessed by someone else.
To support community vigilance, famGuard offers an incident reporting feature that allows users to flag safety concerns in their area. These reports can be submitted anonymously and help warn other famGuard users within a 15 to 20-mile radius during non-emergency situations.
Franklin Okeke, Co-founder and Chief Risk Officer of AceHub Technologies Ltd, said:
“In moments of danger, we all carry a duty of care to one another. famGuard makes it easier for people to act on that responsibility by giving them a simple way to raise alerts and share incident information when it matters. It’s about helping individuals and communities do what they already want to do, which is look out for each other.”
How famGuard Works
After registering, users can add trusted contacts, referred to within the app as Connections. Each invitation can be accepted or declined to ensure users retain full control of their privacy.
Key features include:
- One-Tap Emergency Alerts: Instantly notify trusted contacts during urgent situations
- Incident Reporting: Share safety concerns to help others nearby remain alert
- Connections Management: Control who receives alerts and updates
- Check-Ins: Confirm safety during trips or daily routines
- Offline Support: Core features remain usable when connectivity is limited
Public Safety, Not Over-Promise
AceHub Technologies emphasises that famGuard does not claim to prevent crime or replace official security agencies. Its purpose is to support communication, preparedness, and visibility at the personal and community level while formal response systems operate.
Availability
famGuard is available now for Android users in Nigeria on the Google Play Store. Development of the iOS version is underway and will be announced in a future release.
