Abuja, July 15, 2025 — The Nigeria Police Force has made a significant breakthrough in the investigation of the gruesome murder of Mr. Chen Wang, a Chinese national and employee of WH Great Resource Ltd., located in Ogere, Ogun State. Two suspects have been apprehended following a coordinated, intelligence-driven operation spanning state lines.
According to a statement issued by the Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, the tragic incident occurred on January 12, 2025, when officers of the Ogun State Police Command responded to a distress call and discovered Mr. Wang’s lifeless body in his office. Initial examinations confirmed he had suffered multiple fatal stab wounds to the chest.
In response, the Inspector General of Police, IGP Kayode Egbetokun, activated the Force Technical Intelligence Unit (TIU) to support detectives from the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Eleweran. Through high-level operational coordination and forensic-led investigations, authorities uncovered chilling details surrounding the case.
Findings revealed that two factory workers, reportedly involved in a romantic relationship, exploited the reduced staffing situation on the day of the crime. While on overtime duty, they allegedly disabled the company’s security systems, accessed Mr. Wang’s office, and carried out the deadly attack. After stealing the keys to his residence, they also burgled his home before fleeing Ogun State with stolen cash.
After weeks of surveillance and tactical operations, police operatives from the Force Headquarters, in collaboration with SCID detectives, apprehended the suspects — Yunusa Abdullahi (25, from Borno State) and Peace Keno Danlami (20, from Taraba State) — in Jos, Plateau State on July 14, 2025. The suspects had assumed false identities in an attempt to evade detection.
The successful arrests were made possible through the deployment of cutting-edge digital forensics, biometric analysis, and human intelligence.
Commending the operation, the IGP lauded the Ogun State Police Command, the Force Technical Intelligence Unit, and all officers involved for their professionalism and resolve. He reaffirmed the Force’s commitment to protecting all residents — both citizens and foreign nationals — through proactive, precision-led policing.
The suspects remain in custody and will be formally arraigned upon the completion of investigations.
