The Nigeria Police Force has arrested two factory workers in connection with the gruesome murder of a Chinese national, Mr. Chen Wang, in Ogere, Ogun State, following an extensive multi-state investigation.
Wang, an employee of WH Great Resource Ltd., was found dead in his office on January 12, 2025, with multiple stab wounds. His killing triggered a high-level investigation led by the Force Technical Intelligence Unit (TIU) and the Ogun State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID).
The suspects, identified as 25-year-old Yunusa Abdullahi from Borno State and 20-year-old Peace Keno Danlami from Taraba State, were reportedly lovers who took advantage of reduced staffing on the day of the incident. Police say the duo disabled the factory’s security systems before accessing Wang’s office, where they allegedly stabbed him to death.
According to a statement issued Tuesday by Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the suspects also stole keys to Wang’s residence, broke into his home, and fled the state with stolen money.
“After months of technical surveillance and digital forensics, operatives tracked the suspects to Jos, Plateau State, where they were arrested on July 14, 2025, allegedly living under false identities,” Adejobi said.
Inspector General of Police, Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, commended the Ogun State Police Command, the TIU, and all detectives involved in the case, describing their efforts as “diligent, professional, and relentless.”
He also reassured both Nigerian citizens and the international community of the police’s commitment to ensuring safety and justice through intelligence-led policing.
The suspects are currently in custody and will be formally charged in court upon the conclusion of investigations.
