The Nigeria Police Force has announced the arrest of two key suspects believed to be responsible for the brutal murder of Chen Wang, a Chinese national.
The suspects were apprehended on July 14, 2025, in Jos, Plateau State, following months of intensive surveillance and coordinated intelligence operations.
Wang, who was an employee of WH Great Resource Ltd., Ogere, Ogun State, was found dead in his office on January 12, 2025.
According to the Police, a distress call led officers of the Ogun State Police Command to the scene, where his lifeless body was discovered with multiple stab wounds to the chest.

“His killing immediately triggered a high-level investigation.
“In line with the strategic policing directives of Kayode Egbetokun, Inspector General of Police, IGP, 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”, the Police said.
According to Police findings, the suspects, Yunusa Abdullahi, a 25-year-old male from Borno State, and Peace Keno Danlami, a 20-year-old female from Taraba State, were both factory workers at WH Great Resource Ltd.
Investigators believe 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 Force revealed.
