Armed robbers in Benin City, Edo State capital, are becoming
more daring by the day as they attacked and robbed a hotel, and
held a drinking session before leaving the scene.

Emboldened by the absence of policemen on the streets, the men
of the underworld have now shifted base from carjacking on the
streets to robbing hotels, guest houses and business centres, where
they now eat before departing.

Armed robbers, in the latest of their operation in the Benin
metropolis, paid a nocturnal visit to a hotel in Benin City GRA,
located at a distance of which less than 500 metres from the
entrance gate of Edo State Government House, and robbed the 13
occupants and staff in the hotel. Thee manager of the facility, who
was badly injured in the course of the operation, was rushed to a
private hospital for medical attention.

Narrating his experience yesterday, a victim of the robbery who
was a guest in the hotel said the robbers had a free day as they
moved from room to room, tied their victims and carted away both
food and drinks. “The incident happened about 3 am on Wednesday.
They spent over one hour moving from one room to the other. “They
came in around 3 am immediately after the public light went off.
They first pounced on the security man who was going to put on the
generator, they tied him hand and legs and then went to the
reception where they took the accountant who they forced to lead
them to each of the rooms and ransacked and took everything from
us; our phones, money and other things. “They were six in number
and four of them carried guns while the others carried machetes
which they used on the ear and head of the manager of the hotel.
“The robbers also went away with all the cooked food in the
kitchen, carried all the drinks in freezers leaving only water and
soft drinks. They tied everybody hand and leg and also had the
luxury of drinking some of the beer and then loaded the remaining
ones and the food into an SUV van owned by a guest and then went
away with the vehicle.”

Mob lynches two suspected armed robbers
Cases of armed robbery appear to have been on the rise in
Benin.

A mob in Benin City, the Edo State capital, on Tuesday, lynched
two suspected armed robbers and set their bodies ablaze for alleged
involvement in robbery operations in the state.

The action came barely 24 hours after the state governor, Godwin
Obaseki, paid a sympathy visit to the state’s police command where
he appealed to the police to return to their duty posts and
strategic roads across the state.

There had been fears and anxiety among residents in Benin and
adjoining towns over heightened cases of robbery activities in
recent times.

The robberies and violent crime across the state became apparent
after police officers abandoned the streets and major roads in the
wake of the #EndSARS protest which led to the burning and
destruction of seven police stations in the state.

The hoodlums also carted away arms and ammunition, looted four
warehouses including that of the Nigeria Customs Service while
armed men attacked two correctional centres located along Sapele
and Airport roads in the capital City.

The two suspected robbers were apprehended near the busy Okah
Market, the road by Ighodefeyi Road along Upper Sokponba Road.

The mob comprising mainly youth from the area beat the robbers
to a pulp with clubs and set them ablaze in the process.

A witness, Amebo Efe, told PREMIUM TIMES that the robbery
incident happened in the early hours of Tuesday.

She said, “They came out early in the morning and they were
robbing market women going to the market and other early risers
going to their workplaces. There have been regular cases of robbery
around Sakponba Road here because the three police stations along
this road namely St Saviour, Ugbegun and Idogbo have been burnt and
destroyed. There is no single presence of police post or any other
security agency here.”
