The Nigeria Police Force, in collaboration with INTERPOL NCB Abuja, has arrested and repatriated a Chinese national, Xu Qing, for his alleged role in a massive $245 million Ponzi scheme. 

Xu Qing was wanted by authorities in Beijing for masterminding financial fraud involving the illegal collection of public deposits.

The suspect reportedly fled to Nigeria in late 2024 to evade justice. However, following sustained surveillance, INTERPOL operatives tracked him to a factory in Siun Village, Obafemi Owode Local Government Area of Ogun State.

He was apprehended on April 24, 2026, and repatriated to China four days later under a bilateral policing agreement.

According to Qubes Magazine, Inspector-General of Police Olatunji Rilwan Disu emphasized that Nigeria will not be a "safe haven" for international criminals. 

He advised Nigerian business owners to perform rigorous police verification before employing foreign nationals to avoid harboring fugitives.
