The fear of kidnappers is a constant worry for road users. I was nervous for nearly four hours of the taxi ride, especially as we turned off the busy Agbor Road and veered onto narrow, lonely roads meandering through many forested small towns and villages. It’s a most unlikely crime scene. I travelled by road from the Benin airport to Uromi, Esanland's most significant town, for a wedding about three years ago.
