59-Year-Old Chinese Man Arrested for Allegedly Raping Ogun Woman at Quarry Site

A 59-year-old Chinese national has been arrested in Ogun State over an allegation of rape involving a woman at a quarry site in the Kobape area.

The incident was reported to have occurred on January 25, 2026, at the facility.

A senior security official, who requested anonymity because he was not authorised to speak publicly, said the arrest followed a formal complaint by the woman.

According to the official, the suspect was taken into custody shortly after the report and the case was transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Eleweran for further investigation.

Confirming the development, the Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Babaseyi Oluseyi, said the command had opened a full investigation into the allegation.

“Investigation is ongoing,” Oluseyi said.

The case adds to recent law enforcement actions involving foreign nationals in Nigeria. In July 2025, operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency arrested a Chinese national at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, over alleged possession of 50 parcels of a synthetic strain of cannabis after arriving from Bangkok, Thailand.
