Frequently Asked Questions
Is WhistleBlowNG really anonymous?expand_more
Yes. When you submit a Report, we do not track your IP address, browser information, or location. We use end-to-end encryption to ensure that only our vetted legal partners can access case details, without knowing your identity unless you choose to reveal it.
Does it cost money to get legal help?expand_more
No. All legal services provided through WhistleBlowNG are pro-bono (free of charge) for the whistleblower. We connect you with lawyers who are committed to public interest litigation and fighting corruption.
Can I track my report status?expand_more
Yes. Upon submitting a report, you will receive a unique 16-digit passcode. You can use this code to log back in anonymously to check for updates, answer questions from investigators, or upload additional evidence.
Why choose external whistleblowing?expand_more
It offers greater safety than internal reporting. We strictly protect your anonymity and provide independent legal counsel to shield you from retaliation, ensuring you can speak the truth without fear.
How long does the process usually take?expand_more
Initial review takes 3-5 working days, within which you'd receive information about the status of your anonymous report. Timelines for accepted cases vary greatly depending on the complexity. We strive to keep you updated at major milestones through the secure portal.
What kind of wrongdoing can I report?expand_more
You can report various forms of misconduct including fraud, bribery, embezzlement, public safety violations, environmental damage, and abuse of power within both public and private organizations in Nigeria.
How does WhistleBlowNG protect my identity?expand_more
We use state-of-the-art security measures including Tor onion services integration for advanced anonymity, zero-knowledge architecture (we can't see your data), and strict data scrubbing protocols to remove metadata from uploaded files.
Do I need an email or account to submit a report?expand_more
No. You do not need to provide an email address, phone number, or create a traditional account. Your access is managed solely through the unique 16-digit passcode generated when you submit your report.
What happens after I submit a report?expand_more
Your report is reviewed and assigned to a specialized pro-bono lawyer if necessary. They will assess the evidence and determine the best legal course of action. You may receive follow-up questions via the secure portal.
Can I submit evidence like documents, audio, or video?expand_more
Yes, and it is highly encouraged. Our secure upload system accepts documents (PDF, DOCX), images, audio, and video files. All files are automatically scrubbed of metadata (like location and author info) before being viewed by investigators.
What if my case is rejected?expand_more
Not all reports can be pursued legally due to evidence thresholds or jurisdiction. If a case is rejected, we will inform you via the secure portal with a reason. We may also refer you to other agencies better suited to handle the specific type of complaint.
