Benin is a poor city with basically teacher and bankers as the workforce there. Political thuggery and crime are the only way youth who haven't gone to Germany or Italy look to.

Hmmm,someone i kn lost his phone last week to a pickpocket in a bus going to ringroad from ugbowo,he said as tight as d trousers he wore,he did nt notice or feel anything,he said d person is an expert

Had an encounter yesterday, but as a wise man, I got my phone back. Benin pickpockets are professionals. Ugbowo axis isn’t safe anymore. Beware of blue bus plying oluku-ringroad route

I de tell you....even bricklayers and mechanics na confra men. It is the only Niger delta state where the oil industry is unknown. Imagine where Kada is the only place people go to have fun.

This crime of armed robbery in Edo state can be controlled to a large extent if the federal government approve the creation of STATE POLICE

That is why Nigeria should be restructured.

But unfortunately northern political leaders who are against restructuring are looking it from a parochial angle that the northern part of Nigeria will be denied access to Niger delta region crude oil money.

Imagine the trash come out of the mouth of northern far right political leaders like Tanko Yakassai, Balarabe Musa, El Rufai etc

These northern political leaders are misleading their subjects not to work hard and that as long as crude oil money is flowing they are covered.

If more money is left at the state level and not shared to the federal centre and some lazy states.

An oil producing state like Edo state that is producing some oil should have one of the best security outfits not minding the low quantity of oil they are producing compared to oil rich state like Akwa Ibom, Rivers state,Delta state.

IMASTEX:

This is not a good submission. The life of one innocent citizen is far greater than that of 10 criminals. Crime is a global phenomenon. Though higher in some countries due to leadership failure in providing the necessary needs of the citizens. Idleness and starvation is the father of crime. Fix these and see crime reduce naturally.

To support a supposed law enforcement agent to molest, oppress, steal, blackmail, detain without court trail & even kill citizens with impunity is a crime against humanity & God.

I understand you, its just that we hardly behave well without wipes.

Nukilia:


Get a gun for yourself...

This is Benin.
You are better off with a red cloth and some cowries and native chalk and tie them on your door or gate.
Believe me criminals believe in doing jazz as in juju and they believe in its efficacy and as such they tend to fear juju.
After all na small vegetable native doctor take pass native doctor.
No forget also say Benin strong for juju matter

Understood, violence will only begot violence. Just yesterday. I even witnessed a misbehaviour from a useless & mentally challenged "policeman". Abusing and harassing someone with gun over an uninsultive verbal comment. And he is even physically unfit to have challenged the person if they are to fight.

7Ebisco:
Palpable fear reign supreme among residents of Benin City, the Edo State capital following recent upsurge in robbery, pick-pockets, breaking and entry that have taken over the city.

Some of the residents and victims told LEADERSHIP that the rampant rate people are been robbed especially commuters is worrisome.

They noted that the State Government and the Security agencies, seems helpless on how to tackle the challenges.

The respondents stressed that a situation where the people could no longer sleep with their two eyes closed or go out without fear of been attacked or robbed, pose a great danger to the state.

They particularly noted that the state of insecurity in the State, would have a negative effect on the efforts of the Government to woo investors to the State.

One of the respondents, Mr Elogie Clement, who was on Friday night robbed of N120,000, three mobile phones and other valuables, described the situation as pathetic.

Elogie said he was robbed at gun-point, along Plymouth road, onboard a taxi he took to Ekenwan road, at about 7pm

According to him, "I have heard tales of stories on robbery, especially in public transport lately but never took it serious until it happened to me.

"The sad thing was that whether you are alone in the vehicles or with others, these boys still do whatever they want to without any fear or being caught.

"I took a cap, all alone in the vehicle when the driver stopped at the busy Plymouth road, when all of a sudden, a guy appeared at the back and placed on gun at the back of my head. That was how they zoomed off and robbed me of everything I had".

It was in a similar manner that one Tina Osagie, in broad daylight, was robbed at gun-point in a commercial bus, between Ring Road and Mission Road.

Aside robbery in commercial vehicles, residents have been robbed of their monies at Automated Teller Machines (ATM), while many shops and homes have been burgled.

This challenges have taken it tool on night life in the city, as commercial businesses now close shops as early as 7pm, because of the fear being attacked.

The robbing of business premises is common in places such as, Airport Road and environs, Ekenwan Road, Sakponba road, Siloko road and environs, as well as Ugbowo axis of Benin.

It would be recalled that the issue of cult related killings have not also helped in the security challenges in the state.

No fewer than six lives, related to cultism, have been lost in the city, within the last few weeks.

These killings took placed around Upper Sakponba, Ogida, Siloko road and Ekenwan road areas of Benin.

The State Commissioner of Police, Babatunde Kokomo, while parading some arrested suspects at the command recently, attributed the killings to reprisal attack, and noted that police was working hard to arrest the menace.

While noting that several persons have been arrested in relation to cultism and armed robbery, he said the police have declared zero tolerance against crime.

Similarly, the Managing Director, Edo State Traffic Management Agency (EDSTMA), Mr Denis Oloriegbe, pointed out that the reason for initiating number code for commercial buses and cabs, was to check against using it to commit crimes.

One guy was arguing with me here when i said few months back that Benin is nice city to live in but the arm robbery attacks is too much.

Benin is a city in Nigeria you will get the highest number of Car robbery and House robbery

It's just a pity and unfortunate that this particular state is prone to

CRIME
CULTISM
ROBBERY
PROSTITUTION
SECRETS SOCIETY
CHILD TRAFFICKING
MAMMY WATER
OGBANJE
WITHCHES AND WIZARD

All sort of bad bad things comes from them

Una no dey shame ?

sagitariusbaby:
This news is misleading, the part of Benin where my parent stay and many other parts is free of such petty crimes. Nigeria as a whole isn't safe, too many crimes are being perpetrated daily across the country, it's not peculiar to Benin

Thank you�

The end SARS crew have gone back to their trade,
They want to use Edo as a testing ground before migrating to other part.

Nigeria is not yet ripe for gentle man police force, we"re too unpredictable.

These crimes are not unrelated to the deportees.
A brother complained about this on Facebook sometime ago and it is getting totally out of hand.

I am from Edo and I tell you a typical Edo youth would rather involve himself in criminal activities such as Fraudery, armed robbery and all sort of illegitimate acts so as to enjoy life.
They have zero tolerance for hard work.
They'd rather sit down and discuss in different meeting joints than engage into something meaningful.
The attitude have to change otherwise I don not see this going anytime soon.

Crimes happen everywhere in the world but some places have higher crime compared to others..You can't compare the crime in Netherland to that in Nigeria just as you can't compare the crime rate in Enugu to that of Benin city.Benin city takes the lead.Some thing is seriously wrong in Edo state...The rate of cultism and the likes are very high there...

She’s saying every state has its vices and problems. Singling out Edo is not correct.
Nigeria’s very bad image in the world is due to the crimes and vices of the big 3 tribes not a minority group like Edo.
And when foreigners start stereotyping Nigerians as 419, Boko Haram, yahoo yahoo, money hungry, greedy, drug peddlers, drug dealers(mainly stereotypes from the big 3 tribes) you start complaining that they are stereotyping you and are racists. Now you all doing the same to Edo. Hypocrites every where!

Am talking based on facts not on emotions..

That’s a lie, Edo is not highest in internet scams. Everyone knows yahoo yahoo internet scams in mainly Yoruba and then Igbo. Internet scams is not a stereotype of Edo. Nigeria’s bad image comes from multiple ethnic groups and not just 1.
Over the past year or so Nigerians have taken their gang pack ganging up on one tribe thing to Edo. At first it was Igbo but now you want to attack us to.
Isn’t your people that are involved in skull mining, yahoo yahoo, internet scams soiling the Nigerian image in the UK and every where else?
Look at a pot calling a kettle black

Mcreloaded:
The major crime in vogue now in Benin especially down sapele road is breaking into houses when the owner have either gone to church or work or travelled .
It is mostly done in the day time while if you dare travel they come over night and remove your properties.
Braking and entry is now rampant and you are adviced to make sure some one is always at home while other members of the house can go to church or school or work.

My brother, It's not only sapele road o..
Even last night, It happened in my area.
Last 2weeks, Same thing too.

Libya returnees————-unemployment —————> high crime rate the connection is a tad obvious

Of course there will be an upsurge in crime in Edo. Since the OBA place a curse on traffickers taking young men and women to Europe, few traffickers indulge in the illegal migration making it difficult for criminal minded Edo men to travel out. That definitely means they'll stay at home and commit their crimes. Throw in the libya returnees and deportees in the mix and what I see is a crime epidemic staring us in the face.

At the Bolded; This is my problem with Edo indegenes, they will never accept the facts that, some of their youths are criminals as long as long as the crimes translate to money.

This is my fourth years in Benin and what my eyes have seen so far, if I was told by anyone before, I wouldn't have believed it. An average Binin Boy wants to become a Millionaire yet, he has no job, no hand work and he is a school dropout.

It is only in Benin that, a father will sponsor his Daughter abroad to do Prostitution. Some husband's will also sponsor their wives Abroad to do Prostitution too. In return, the wives or Daughters will constantly send money back to their sponsor's, be it the father, mother or the husband. My problem is, the society here, see this as a way of life. As long as, it translate to money.

Modified; I'm not saying, Benin is the only crime infested City. There's Crime everywhere, but the Crime in Benin is much.

Here’s what I think: your vices are not better than my vices. Take the plank out of your eye before you start judging others. Your tribe isn’t holy and isn’t anywhere near perfect. Cultism vs skull mining. Which is worse? I don’t know, it makes
No difference. It’s like saying the crap you poo
out isn’t as bad as the crap someone else poos out.
Please gimme a break. Go fix your house before you start telling me what to do in mine.

Benin is the only place where you will see Mad Pastors. As in, a preacher with a big Bible but, the preacher is a mad man.
E get one wey dey come Ring road by CBN, one's in a while. One dey come new Benin Market, under the traffic light, one's in a while too. The other mad Pastor dey always come inside the new Benin Market, close to where Uwelu Buses dey load. The kind Big Bible wey the guy dey carry, no be here. E go dey preach, small time e go look for parson wey e go insult shege comot for him body. He dey curse and insult people mama and papa, he dey insult people T*to and pr*ck join put, with big Bible for em hand.

What do you have to gain by trying to insulting Benin/Edo? What does that do for you?
All the crazy things that go on in Nigeria and in the world in general and it’s only stuff that happen in Benin that you want to isolate.
Why are you even in Benin for the past 4 years anyway?
If you hate the people so much then go back to your southwest
