In an emergency

If it can't wait for a form.

You are in immediate danger

Stop using forms and websites. If someone is hurting you now, you were just arrested, or you fear for your life this minute, call 112 (national emergency) or 199 (police). Get to a safe place and call.

Domestic or family danger

If leaving this page could itself put you at risk, use a device someone else can't easily see. If the form is your only option, write that it is unsafe to call, unsafe to message; a solicitor will still reach you more carefully. You do not have to stay with a person who hurts you to qualify for help.

Arrest or police detention

A detained person has the right to be brought to court and, under Nigerian law, to make contact. If they can give you the police division, say so in the form; that is the fastest route. Mark it urgent, criminal & police.

When it is serious but not urgent

Written threats, an eviction about to be enforced, wages withheld for months: these matter, and they can wait for the form. The slow route is still faster than where you are now.
