How to locate and track someone in Nigeria with phone number and GPS

Was your phone stolen, or do you want to track a family member's location? This article discusses seven methods to locate someone in Nigeria.

Everyone has their reasons for tracing a phone number's location, some of which include:

• To ensure children's safety, Nigerian parents may want to know their approximate whereabouts.
• Spouses safety; knowing the whereabouts of your spouse provides partners who suspect adultery with some peace of mind and sanity.
• Some businesses may choose to track an employee's location by phone number to ensure that their workers are performing their duties in the field. Regardless of the purpose for tracking a certain individual, modern technology allows you to locate anyone in Nigeria via phone number or GPS utilizing simple techniques.

There are many applications or methods that discuss how to locate a person by phone number, but the majority of these methods require that the person you wish to monitor be aware that they are being monitored.

Below are seven methods to track and locate someone in Nigeria with their phone number, GPS, or application without their knowledge:

1. IP grabber

Despite being illegal in some countries, IP grabbing remains the most effective method for locating and tracking a phone number in Nigeria.

It works by creating a link that may be sent using social media or social engineering tactics to collect the target's IP address quickly.

Once this link is chosen, users will be able to analyze specific data that offers information about the origin of the click, such as the

• IP address of the device from which the connection was accessed.
• State and national origins.
• The user agent used by the user to identify the web browser from which the link was selected.
• An internet service provider.
• The device from which the intrusion occurred (computer, smartphone, or tablet).
• Operating system.
• Battery capacity (if your device is powered by a battery).
• The orientation of the device, etc. 

IP Logger and Grabify are the most effective IP grabbers for tracking and locating individuals in Nigeria.

In general, these connections are not unusual, as they are recorded by every web page that is visited. It is a common function used for traffic analysis and page security control.

This strategy works best for monitoring and locating someone in Nigeria if a photo or document is published to a cloud storage site such as Google Drive or Dropbox to hide any suspicion and serve as an enticement.

This new link is likely to trigger alarm sirens for the target, hence it is recommended to use a link shortener like Bitly or specific URLs provided by the IP Grabber. Finally, the target will be provided with the shortened link, and when they click it, the tracker will record their IP address. Thus, if the other party claims to live in Lagos, Nigeria's wealthiest state, but their IP address points to a device in Yobe, Nigeria's poorest state, it is clear that they have provided false information.

2. Locate by phone number

There are various possible methods for locating a person in Nigeria by phone number, with the most effective being:

1. Installing software or an application on the mobile device that will be used to trace the phone number.
2. Locating someone on Google by searching in quote marks. e.g.: "07012345678".
3. Searching for someone's phone number on social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook might reveal a plethora of information about them.
4. Locating using the Truecaller program, which contains a vast database of phone numbers coupled with personal information such as images and website URLs of the person you're looking for.
5. Searching for the number on Nairaland.

3. CNAM Lookup

Caller Name (CNAM) lookup is a one-of-a-kind approach for locating someone in Nigeria using search tools. These tools allow you to view a person's location based on their phone number, as well as any connected information, such as the owner's name and the city where they live.

However, CNAM charges a small fee for access to this information.

Furthermore, one of the disadvantages of this way of discovering someone in Nigeria by phone number is that it is impossible to locate the individual if they are using a CNAM blocker, which conceals their identity.

4. Find My Device.

Find My Device allows remote phone tracking. It is part of Google Play Protect, which protects your phone from malicious apps and unauthorized access. However, only Android versions 4.0 and higher are supported.

This application is primarily intended to locate a lost phone, but it can also be used to track a phone that is not missing. Simply follow the steps below.

5. Find My iPhone

7. IMEI Number

This way of locating someone in Nigeria is frequently used while looking for a lost or stolen phone, as it is required by the security center or telecom company that would trace your phone if it is stolen.

This tracking approach relies on monitoring a 15-digit code known as the IMEI, which stands for "International Mobile Equipment Identity."
