Two suspects connected with the murder of a Chinese national, Mr. Chen Wang, an employee of WH Great Resource Ltd., Ogere, Ogun State, have been arrested by the Nigeria Police Force.
The arrest followed a meticulously coordinated intelligence-driven operation, the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said in a statement.
Thenewsbearer reports that the incident, which occurred on January 12, 2025, drew immediate attention when the Ogun State Police Command received a distress call regarding the discovery of Mr. Wang’s lifeless body within his office premises.
Preliminary findings revealed that the deceased had suffered fatal stab wounds to the chest.
“In line with the strategic policing mandate of the Inspector General of Police (IGP) Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, the Nigeria Police Force Technical Intelligence Unit (TIU) was promptly mobilised to provide high level operational and technological support to the Ogun State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Eleweran, Abeokuta.
“Investigations uncovered the fact that two factory workers, suspected to be in a romantic relationship, took advantage of reduced staffing on the day of the incident.
“While on overtime duty, they allegedly disabled the company’s security system, unlawfully accessed Mr. Wang’s office, and committed the fatal attack.
“They subsequently stole the keys to his residence, which they later burgled before fleeing the state with stolen cash,” the FPRO revealed.
He stated further: “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.”
In his reaction to the success achieved, the IGP commended the Ogun State Police Command, the Force Technical Intelligence Unit, and all officers involved in the operation for their diligence, professionalism, and relentless pursuit of justice.
He reiterated the commitment of the Nigeria Police Force to safeguarding all residents, citizens and foreign nationals alike, through proactive policing and precision-led investigations.
The suspects, currently in custody, would be arraigned in court at the conclusion of ongoing investigations, ACP Adejobi said.
