Since its establishment in November 1992 by the visionary entrepreneur, Mr. Aina Samuel, Urban Security Services has remained at the forefront of private security management in Nigeria.
From its humble beginnings in Kaduna, Nigeria, to its expansion into the Kwara security ecosystem, the company has grown steadily over the past three decades to become one of the most respected and reliable private security companies in the country.
Built on a foundation of professionalism, integrity, and excellence, Urban Security Services earned the trust of individuals, businesses, institutions, and communities through its steadfast commitment to safeguarding lives and property.
Following the passing of its founder, the mantle of leadership was entrusted to his son, Dr. Samuel Yusuf Bola, whose forward-thinking approach has ushered the company into a new era of growth and innovation. Under his leadership, Urban Security Services has undergone significant transformation, embracing modern security technologies and global best practices that have redefined private security operations in Kwara State and beyond.
Today, Urban Security Services stands as a model for contemporary private security management, deploying cutting-edge surveillance systems, advanced security equipment, and technology-driven solutions tailored to meet the evolving security challenges of the 21st century. The company’s impressive track record of success continues to set industry standards while reinforcing its reputation as a trusted security partner.
Beyond its corporate achievements, Urban Security Services has also played a pivotal role in advancing the private security industry. Dr. Samuel Yusuf Bola currently serves as the Chairman of the Association of Licensed Private Security Practitioners of Nigeria (ALPSPN), Kwara State Chapter, where his leadership has revitalized the association and strengthened collaboration among security stakeholders across the state.

One of the association’s landmark initiatives is Operation Secure Kwara, a strategic security intervention designed to bring together government agencies, security operatives, technology experts, and community stakeholders to develop practical solutions to insecurity through the application of Artificial Intelligence and other emerging technologies.
From its headquarters in Ilorin, Urban Security Services has successfully expanded its operations across Nigeria, with branches in Lagos, Abuja, Oyo, and Kaduna States. This growing national footprint reflects the company’s commitment to delivering world-class security services wherever they are needed.
As Urban Security Services continues to evolve, its mission remains unchanged: to provide reliable, innovative, and technology-driven security solutions that protect lives, secure assets, and contribute to safer communities.
