Police Arrest 2 Suspected Killers Of Chinese National

Men and officers of the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) have arrested two suspects in the murder of a Chinese national, Chen Wang.

The suspects are Yunusa Abdullahi, a 25-year-old male from Borno State and Peace Keno Danlami, a 20-year-old female from Taraba State.

Wang, who was an employee of WH Great Resource Ltd., Ogere, Ogun State, was found dead in his office on January 12, 2025.

Seven months later, the police operatives arrested the suspects on July 14, 2025, in Jos, Plateau State, following months of intensive surveillance and coordinated intelligence operations.

Recalling the incident that led to the death of the Chinese, Force spokesperson, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, said a distress call led officers of the Ogun State Police Command to the scene, where his lifeless body was discovered with multiple stab wounds on the chest.

According to him, “His killing immediately triggered a high-level investigation. In line with the strategic policing directives of the inspector general of police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun,  the Force mobilised its Technical Intelligence Unit (TIU) to support the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Eleweran, Ogun State.

“The operation involved a combination of digital forensics, biometric tracking, and human intelligence”.

According to Police findings, the suspects, Abdullahi and Danlami were both factory workers at WH Great Resource Ltd. It is believed that the duo, who were reportedly in a romantic relationship, exploited the reduced workforce on the day of the incident to disable the company’s security systems and unlawfully gain access to Wang’s office.

“Once inside, the pair allegedly stabbed Wang to death, stole keys to his residence, and later burgled his home before fleeing the state with cash and valuables.

“They subsequently went into hiding, adopting false identities in Jos, where they were eventually apprehended through the collaborative efforts of the Force headquarters team and the Ogun SCID”, the police added.

The Force PRO noted that the arrested suspects are currently in police custody and will be formally charged in court upon the conclusion of ongoing investigations.
