The police on Sunday said they have repatriated a high-profile fugitive identified as one Dai Qisheng to the People’s Republic of China.
This, they said, followed a landmark operation in collaboration with the International Criminal Police Organisation (INTERPOL.
The Force Public Relations Office, Olumuyiwa Adejobi, in a statement, explained that Qisheng, “a notorious gang leader wanted in Guizhou Province, China, for orchestrating and leading violent organised crimes,” fled his home country in 2024 after a warrant for his arrest was issued by the Public Security Bureau of Zhijin County.
Adejobi said that, determined to evade justice, the suspect sought refuge in Nigeria, but operatives of INTERPOL, National Central Bureau (NCB) Abuja, tracked, surveilled, and apprehended the fugitive in Abuja on August 8, 2025.
“Following his arrest, the fugitive was repatriated on August 15, 2025, to Beijing under the established framework of police-to-police cooperation, coordinated by INTERPOL,” the Force PRO stated.
