Nigeria has successfully repatriated Dai Qisheng, a notorious Chinese gang leader wanted for orchestrating violent organized crimes in Guizhou Province, China.
Qisheng fled China in 2024 after an arrest warrant was issued by the Public Security Bureau of Zhijin County and was tracked and apprehended by Interpol operatives in Abuja on August 8, 2025.
Following his arrest, he was repatriated to Beijing on August 15, 2025, under a police-to-police cooperation framework facilitated by Interpol.
The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olukayode Adeolu Egbetokun, hailed the operation as a testament to the Nigeria Police Force’s commitment to global security and justice, emphasizing that Nigeria will not serve as a hiding place for international fugitives.
The successful operation highlights the strength of international partnerships in addressing complex global crime networks and demonstrates Nigeria’s resolve to uphold the rule of law and contribute meaningfully to global security through effective law enforcement partnerships.
