Razor News is a Nigeria-based digital news organisation that concentrates on security, policing and justice while also covering national politics, business and culture. The newsroom reports from the field on police operations, courts and anti-narcotics actions, publishing fast updates, interviews and analysis aimed at residents, policymakers and law‑enforcement stakeholders. Its core beat—Police Affairs—tracks investigations, crime trends and community safety initiatives across the Federal Capital Territory and the states. The outlet is led by editor‑in‑chief Odita Sunday, a veteran crime and security reporter and former president of the Crime Reporters Association of Nigeria (CRAN). Under his direction, Razor News has developed a reputation for accurate, accountable reporting on sensitive public‑safety issues and for fostering dialogue between journalists and security agencies. In 2025, the newsroom deepened engagement with the Lagos State Police Command to promote transparent communication and safer communities. It also highlights civic recognition efforts such as the Silent Heroes Awards, which celebrate contributions to public service. Beyond its speciality beats, Razor News publishes coverage from across Nigeria—including drug enforcement busts, police clarifications on viral incidents and regional politics—organised into sections like Military, Crime, Politics, South‑South and Business. The publication’s focus on verifiable, real‑time security news has made it a reference point for readers seeking reliable information on policing and justice nationwide.
