The Ogun State Police Command has arrested a 59-year-old Chinese national over the alleged rape of a woman at a quarry site in the Kobape area of the state.
The incident was said to have occurred on January 25, 2026, at the quarry facility located within the Kobape axis. A senior security officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to lack of authorisation to address the media, disclosed that the suspect was apprehended following a complaint lodged by the victim.
According to the source, the suspect was taken into custody shortly after the allegation was reported, and the case was subsequently transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department at Eleweran for further investigation.
“A 59-year-old Chinese national was arrested following an allegation of indecent assault at a quarry in the Kobape area of the state,” the security officer said. “The suspect was promptly arrested, and the matter has been handed over to the SCID for a detailed investigation.”
Confirming the arrest, the Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Mr. Babaseyi Oluseyi, said the command had commenced a full investigation into the allegation.
“Investigation is ongoing,” Oluseyi stated.
The arrest has renewed public concern over criminal allegations involving some foreign nationals in Nigeria. In July 2025, operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency arrested a Chinese national, Liang Tak You, at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, after he allegedly arrived from Bangkok, Thailand, with 50 parcels of “Loud,” a synthetic strain of cannabis.
