Kidnapping Special: Fear grips politicians, businessmen in Benin

 

WEALTHY politicians and businessmen in Benin City, the  Edo State capital, have started fleeing the city for fear of being abducted by kidnappers.

Their fears heightened after two
prominent businessmen in the city, Chief Dan Odiete, an Estate Valuer, and Chief Omoruyi Oloton, popularly known as Uyi Technical, were kidnapped last week by unknown gunmen dressed in police uniforms. They are yet to regain their freedom.
It was observed that the seeming failure of the police in the state to protect the citizens had forced majority of the wealthy politicians and businessmen in the city to seek the assistance of youths for protection.
But majority of those who may not want to engage the services of the youths or could not afford same, have fled the state for Abuja and Lagos.
