JUST IN: International Manhunt Ends As Police Capture Foreign Fugitive Wanted For Murder
The Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has arrested and repatriated Mahadijiria Abdoulaye, a Chadian national wanted by authorities in N’Djamena over the alleged murder of Nazik Mahamat Saleh, who was reportedly tortured and killed on May 3, 2026.
The development was disclosed in a statement issued on Saturday by the Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Ani Iniedu.
According to the statement, the Court of Appeal in N’Djamena issued an international warrant of arrest on June 22, 2026, against Abdoulaye and her alleged accomplice, Fatime Senoussi Mouktar, in connection with the case.
Abdoulaye, who was also reportedly linked to narcotics trafficking activities in Chad, allegedly fled to Nigeria following the incident.
She was subsequently traced and arrested by operatives of the INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB), Abuja, on August 5, 2026, at Railway Quarters in the Nasarawa Local Government Area of Kano State, following coordinated intelligence operations.
The police said Abdoulaye was repatriated to N’Djamena, Chad, on August 14, 2026, through Lomé, Togo, under established bilateral police cooperation arrangements.
The operation was carried out by INTERPOL NCB Abuja in collaboration with its counterpart in N’Djamena to facilitate the suspect’s return to Chad, where she is expected to face the judicial process.
The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Disu, commended the INTERPOL NCB Abuja operatives for their professionalism, diligence and effective coordination with their Chadian counterparts.
Disu said the successful arrest and repatriation demonstrated the Nigeria Police Force’s commitment to preventing fugitives from evading justice by crossing international borders.
The Force further reaffirmed its commitment to using established international policing channels and partnerships to track wanted persons, disrupt transnational criminal networks and ensure that individuals wanted for serious offences do not find safe haven in Nigeria.
