The Nigeria Police Force has successfully arrested two suspects in connection with the heinous murder of a Chinese national, Chen Wang, in Ogere, Ogun state.
Force Public Relations Officer, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, disclosing this on Tuesday, said the arrest followed a meticulously coordinated, intelligence-driven operation.
Adejobi revealed that investigations into the victim’s death which occured on January 12th 2025, began after a distress call was received by the Ogun State Police Command regarding the discovery of Mr. Wang’s lifeless body within his office premises. Preliminary findings revealed that the deceased, an employee of WH Great Resource Ltd in the state, had suffered fatal stab wounds to the chest.
Following the call, 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.
Investigations uncovered 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.
After weeks of technical surveillance and tactical coordination by operatives of the Force Headquarters, working closely with SCID detectives, the suspects, identified as Yunusa Abdullahi and Peace Keno Danlami, were tracked and apprehended Monday on July 14, 2025, in Jos, where they had been hiding under false identities.
The suspects who are currently in police custody will be arraigned in court upon conclusion of ongoing investigation, Adejobi said.
