Indigenous security technology firm, Agent-X Intelligence & Investigations Ltd (AGXII), has unveiled a suite of artificial intelligence-powered security solutions designed to strengthen Nigeria’s capacity to detect and prevent terrorism, kidnapping, cybercrime and financial fraud.
The technologies were showcased at the 22nd Anniversary Summit and Award Dinner of the Peace Building Development Consult (PBDC), held at the Nigeria Police Resource Centre, Jabi, Abuja.
The company’s MEDUSA-X, an AI-powered predictive intelligence platform, was one of the major attractions at the event. The system is designed to identify potential security threats before they escalate into crises by integrating intelligence from land, sea, air, space and cyberspace.
According to the company, the platform is designed to enable security agencies to detect emerging threats faster, analyse intelligence more effectively and make informed operational decisions.
Agent-X also unveiled VETT-X, an AI-driven personnel vetting platform developed to help organisations identify potential security risks before recruiting personnel into sensitive positions.
The system conducts background checks, sanctions screening, open-source intelligence gathering, social network analysis and risk assessments as part of its vetting process.
Other technologies showcased included AML-X, designed to support anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing investigations; AIFAI-X for forensic accounting; ANALYST-X for intelligence reporting; FORENSIC-X for digital forensics; and SENTINEL-X for threat monitoring.
The firm also presented PANIC-X for emergency response, DRONE-X for aerial surveillance, SAFEGUARD-X for anti-kidnapping operations and FIELD COMMANDER for tactical field operations.
Surveillance equipment, cyber-defence technologies and anti-puncture self-sealing security tyres designed for high-risk operations were also displayed.
Speaking at the event, Agent-X Director, Timothy Aveles, said Nigeria’s security architecture must evolve from a predominantly reactive approach to one driven by prediction, early warning and prevention.
Aveles said the company’s technologies were developed locally to address the country’s complex security challenges, including terrorism, kidnapping, organised crime, cybercrime and financial fraud.
He noted that the growing sophistication of criminal networks had made technology-driven intelligence increasingly important to national security.
According to him, the ability to gather, analyse and interpret intelligence in real time would be critical to enabling security agencies to disrupt criminal activities before they occur.
The company said its participation in the PBDC summit reflected the increasing importance of artificial intelligence, predictive intelligence and indigenous technology in peacebuilding, early warning, protection of critical institutions and safeguarding lives and national assets.
Security stakeholders at the summit similarly called for greater deployment of technology-driven intelligence systems, stressing that early detection and disruption of criminal networks remained critical to addressing Nigeria’s evolving security challenges.
