The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has arrested two suspects in connection with the murder of a Chinese national, Chen Wang, an employee of WH Great Resource Ltd., Ogere, Ogun State.
The Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi who announced this in a statement on Tuesday said their arrest followed a meticulously coordinated, intelligence-driven operation.
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.
The statement further read: “In line with the strategic policing mandate of the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, 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”.
Adejobi explained that 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, from Borno State and Peace Keno Danlami, female, 20, from Taraba State.
He noted that the duo were apprehended on July 14, 2025 in Jos, Plateau State, where they had been hiding under false identities.
The spokesperson further disclosed that 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.
The Inspector General of Police has 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 further reiterated the commitment of the Police to safeguarding all residents, citizens and foreign nationals alike, through proactive policing and precision-led investigations.
Adejobi added that the suspects are currently in custody and will be arraigned in court upon the conclusion of ongoing investigations.
