Tuesday, July 15, 2025 - The Nigeria Police Force says it has arrested two suspects in connection with the murder of a 33-year-old Chinese national, Mr. Chen Wang, an employee of WH Great Resource Ltd., Ogere, Ogun State.
The expatriate was stabbed to death on Sunday, January 12,
2025, in his office.
The suspects – two lovers – allegedly disabled the company’s
security system and unlawfully accessed Wang’s office before attacking the
Chinese.
They subsequently stole the keys to his residence, which
they later burgled before fleeing the state with stolen cash.
Spokesperson of the Ogun State Police Command, Omolola
Odutola, had earlier disclosed that investigations were ongoing and a manhunt
had been launched to apprehend the culprits.
Giving an update on the incident, the Nigeria Police Force
on Tuesday, in a statement signed by the Assistant Commissioner of Police and
Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said that two suspects
identified as
as Yunusa Abdullahi aged 25, and Peace Danlami, 20, were arrested in Jos,
Plateau State.
Adejobi stated that the suspects were arrested where they
had been hiding under false identities.
According to him, the arrest followed a meticulously
coordinated, intelligence-driven operation and a swift deployment of digital
forensics, biometric analysis and human intelligence.
The statement said, “In line with the strategic policing
mandate of the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, the Nigeria
Police Force Technical Intelligence Unit (TIU) was promptly mobilized to
provide high-level operational and technological support to the Ogun State
Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Eleweran.
“Following weeks of technical surveillance and tactical
coordination, operatives of the Force Headquarters, working closely with SCID
detectives, tracked and apprehended the suspects identified as Yunusa Abdullahi
(male, 25, Borno State) and Peace Keno Danlami (female, 20, Taraba State) on
July 14, 2025, in Jos, Plateau State, where they had been hiding under false
identities.
“The swift deployment of digital forensics, biometric analysis, and human
intelligence by the Nigeria Police played a decisive role in bringing the
perpetrators to justice.”
Adejobi stated that the suspects are currently in custody and will be
arraigned in court upon the conclusion of ongoing investigations.
The Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, while commending the
Ogun State Command, the Force Technical Intelligence Unit and all officers
involved in the operation for their diligence, professionalism and relentless
pursuit of justice, reaffirmed the Force’s commitment to protecting all
residents, citizens and foreign nationals alike, through proactive policing and
precision-led investigations.
