Private Investigators Addis Ababa - ABCIPI

​Founded originally in Kenya in 1951, today in the 21st century, ABCIPI has offices worldwide. The complexity as well as the varying types of cases that we take on has changed a lot since our early days. But whether we are dealing with 21st century cyber crime or old-fashioned fraud or matrimonial infidelity, we are the second oldest private detective agency in the world, with our offices in Addis Ababa located in the heart of the city at 5 Roman Road, off Borstal Avenue, Roman Ridge.


Addis Ababa, Ethiopia’s sprawling capital in the highlands of the country borders the Great Rift Valley and is the country’s commercial and cultural hub. Its National Museum exhibits Ethiopian art, traditional crafts and prehistoric fossils, including replicas of the famous early hominid, "Lucy." The burial place of the 20th-century emperor Haile Selassie, copper-domed Holy Trinity Cathedral, is a neo-baroque architectural landmark. It has a population of 3.4 million.


As a well-known and trusted Detective Agency ABCIPI are engaged to solve cases in the corporate arena including those of complex fraud and blackmail as well as carrying out due diligence and other staff and competitor related investigations. We have many years of experience and we get results, which is why we are the most hired and successful Addis Ababa detective agency.


Romance fraud can be one of the most upsetting and insidious of frauds relying as it does on emotional involvement by the victim. At ABCIPI we have a lot of experience in this area and an impressive success rate. We approach all our cases with concern and delicacy and with forensic detail.


With the wide range of investigations and surveillance services that ABCIPI offer, other detective agencies in Addis Ababa find it very difficult to compete with our expertise and success rate.


ABCIPI's sister company Wilsons Detectives offers both Private and Corporate Intelligence Services throughout Europe.
