The Head of Products and Digital Services at 9mobile, Mr.
Aminu Sani, in a statement said that the 9mobile Safety App was launched due to
the company’s safety concerns for customers across the globe.
He said that the 9Mobile safety app was the first personal
security app with hands-free and voice-activated SOS, fully integrated with
emergency services (911) in more than 200 countries and territories.
Dani said: “The app had been programmed to trigger an
emergency alarm by saying a code word that enables users to ensure that their
loved ones are safe.”
He said that the safety app also offered live audio and
video transmission in an emergency that enables friends, family, and law
enforcement officers to know what was happening and who was involved.
Sani said that a real-time safety app like 9mobile Safety
App was useful amidst the current insecurity challenges in the country.
“We launched 9mobile Safety App to help combat increased
levels of insecurity, gender-based violence, sexual assault, kidnapping, and many
others.
“With the app, users can keep track of their loved one’s
whereabouts and call emergency services when stranded. This is part of our
modest contributions to improving security in the country.
“The law enforcement agencies are doing their best, but as a
vital stakeholder in the country, we introduced the app to help individuals
protect themselves and loved ones,” he said.
Sani said that the app could be downloaded from the Google
Play store.
He said that 9mobile created the safety app with American-based
UrSafe Technologies.
