A 59-year-old Chinese national has been arrested for allegedly raping a woman at a quarry site in the Kobape area of Ogun State.
PUNCH Metro gathered on Wednesday that the incident occurred on January 25, 2026, at the facility located within the area.
A senior security officer, who spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to the media, said the suspect was apprehended following a complaint by the victim.
“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 source said.
“The suspect was promptly taken into custody, and the case has since been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department, Eleweran, for a detailed investigation.”
Confirming the development, the Ogun State Police Public Relations Officer, Babaseyi Oluseyi, said the command had commenced a full investigation into the allegation.
“Investigation is ongoing,” Oluseyi said.
The arrest comes amid renewed concerns over criminal allegations involving foreign nationals in the country.
In July 2025, PUNCH Metro reported that operatives of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency arrested a Chinese national, Liang Tak You, at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos, with 50 parcels of “Loud”, a synthetic strain of cannabis, after arriving from Bangkok, Thailand.
