Christmas is here and like always in Benin City it is the beginning of crime season. A few days back kidnappers struck again in Benin City and they kidnap Mr. Dan Odiette, a chartered surveyor and the Managing Director of Dan Odiette Estate Surveyors, a Benin City based survey company. The kidnapping claimed the life of a mobile policeman and a three years old girl that was struck by a strail bullet. We hope that the police will be able to meet up the security demands of the times.
