The Force Intelligence Department’s Intelligence Response Team (FID-IRT) has successfully apprehended a professional culinary worker, John Cosmos Govi, for his lead coordination in a high-profile criminal conspiracy involving housebreaking, malicious damage to property, and the high-value theft of luxury assets worth over ₦150 million from an upscale residence in Abuja.
Revealing the details on Monday, the Assistant Commissioner of Police and Force Public Relations Officer, ACP Anthony Placid, stated that the suspect—who received his professional culinary training at a specialized catering institution in Cotonou, Benin Republic—tactically leveraged his employment status to carefully study the security infrastructure and internal movements of the household before launching the operation on April 23, 2026.
Police investigations uncovered that Govi deliberately laced the meals prepared within the residence with a potent, unidentified chemical sedative intended to completely incapacitate both the occupants and active security personnel on duty.

Once the chemical substance took effect, the chef facilitated the smooth entry of two fleeing accomplices, identified simply as Peter and Moses, who are currently at large.
The criminal gang proceeded to systematically dismantle the home's CCTV digital monitoring storage, thoroughly ransacking the apartment to cart away liquid cash and twenty highly exclusive luxury wristwatches valued at approximately ₦150,000,000.
Acting on highly localized intelligence, tactical operatives intercepted the lead suspect along the Gwagwalada transit axis while he was attempting an escape en route to Lagos State.
Security forces successfully recovered the victim's personal iPhone 17 Pro Max alongside containers of the suspected chemical compound, which has since been dispatched to police laboratories for urgent forensic profiling.
