Two suspects linked to the gruesome murder of a Chinese national, Chen Wang of WH Great Resource Ltd. in Ogere, Ogun State have been arrested by the Nigerian police.
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.
Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, on Tuesday stated that preliminary investigations revealed that Mr. Wang sustained fatal stab wounds to his chest.
In response, the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, directed the Force Technical Intelligence Unit (TIU) to provide advanced operational and technological support to the Ogun State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Eleweran.
He said, “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.
“Accompanied by 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 Monday 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 Nigerian Police played a decisive role in bringing the perpetrators to justice.”
