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.”
