In a “landmark” operation conducted by the Nigeria Police Force (NPF) through the INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB) Abuja, Mr. Dai Qisheng, notorious gang leader wanted in Guizhou Province, China, has been successfully repatriated to the People’s Republic of China.
According to a Press Release titled ‘Transnational Crime: Nigeria Police Force repatriates wanted Chinese gang leader in landmark interpol operation’, signed by DCP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, Force Public Relations Officer, Force Headquarters, Abuja, on Sunday 24 August, 2025: “The Nigeria Police Force, in a landmark operation executed through the INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB) Abuja, has successfully repatriated a high-profile fugitive, Mr. Dai Qisheng, to the People’s Republic of China.
“This decisive action, carried out in collaboration with INTERPOL NCB Beijing and the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Nigeria, underscores the Force’s unyielding commitment to its fight against transnational organized crime.
“Dai Qisheng, a notorious gang leader wanted in Guizhou Province, China, for orchestrating and leading violent organized crimes, fled his home country in 2024 after a warrant for his arrest was issued by the Public Security Bureau of Zhijin County.
“Determined to evade justice, he sought refuge in Nigeria. Operatives of INTERPOL NCB Abuja tracked, surveilled, and apprehended the fugitive in Abuja on 8th August, 2025.
“Following his arrest, the fugitive was repatriated on 15th August, 2025 to Beijing under the established framework of police-to-police cooperation, coordinated by INTERPOL.
“This operation not only reaffirms the Nigeria Police Force’s resolve to ensure that no fugitive finds a safe haven within Nigeria but also reflects the strength of international partnerships in addressing the increasingly complex threats of global crime networks.”
