Noticed it a day after this topic
Court orders crypto company to pay N140m to EFCC for illegal USDT/Naira trade was made, Bank transfer vendors also reduced as most vendors went offline. I guess the bad news caused a lot of vendors to deactivate. And for your question; no it's not safe, don't accept physical trading with a stranger as the chances of you getting robbed, killed is high.
