Unknown calls in Nigeria
Unsure about a Nigerian number? Explore concise community notes to judge calls and texts. In Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt and Kano you’ll see legitimate callbacks (deliveries, banking, appointments) as well as waves of robocalls or phishing. Mobile 080/081/070/090 ranges and 01 (Lagos) legacy fixed ranges provide context but are not proof of origin due to portability and VoIP — treat them as hints, not evidence.
