Security Staff You Can Trust With Your Life — Because They Are
In Lagos, Abuja, and beyond, the security of your family, home, and movements matters more than almost anything. Yet most security staff in Nigeria are placed through informal networks with no vetting, no contracts, and no accountability.
COHCASEL changes that. Every driver and security operative in our network is formally licenced, rigorously background-checked, NDA-compliant, and trained to a professional standard. We serve executives, diplomats, returning diaspora families, and high-net-worth households who require absolute trustworthiness.
Whether you need a daily driver, close protection for travel, estate guards for your compound, or a coordinated security team — we place the right people, fast.

Not Just Guards. Professionals.
Our vetting goes deeper than the market standard. Every operative meets a bar most agencies don't even measure.

All COHCASEL security operatives hold current state security licences. Armed officers carry verified firearms permits. No unverified personnel — ever.

Beyond police clearance, we conduct intelligence-level background checks on all security staff — including social network audits and prior employer references.
Strict Confidentiality Protocol
Every driver and security operative signs a comprehensive NDA. Your movements, schedule, property layout, and family details remain absolutely private.
Rapid Deployment
48-hour placement guarantee for standard roles. Emergency security cover available within hours when the situation requires immediate response.

Our in-house security standard exceeds market norms. All operatives are assessed, re-evaluated quarterly, and held to a written code of professional conduct.
“Real security is invisible — until it's needed.”
