If you have ever trekked on wire road by 10pm sharp, because the only bus you saw was going to New Benin market then you can relate. Why is Benin like this? What is the reason and history behind this? Every store is locked, no single soul is on the road. You can't even get pure water to buy, except for Aboki that are doing indomie. Some of them even close around 10 or 11 am. If someone should happen to rape or rob somebody, no one will be there to save the victim. And are other states like this? Let me hear your thoughts

A curse is manifesting... The blood and voice of innocent !!!

Benin is high risk area. In most places, you cannot see those selling outside around 8:00 pm. It is largely due to security risk. In Adolo area I asked one woman why she was closing her shop for the day around 6: 30 pm. she said armed robbers robbed her shop around 7 and a police officer, who came to buy bread was killed in the process.

Outcome of insecurity

My dear, historically and till now, benin city has alway being very volitile. The place you just mention - wire road, for ages has been very notorious. Places such tv/ehaekpen road, upper siluko axis, st saviour axis, most part of oba market area and the well known upper sakponba area are no go areas in the night. Na so i take grow com meet am ooo.

Thanks for the information. So is it advisable for a bus driver or keke driver to close by 10pm?
