The Nigeria Immigration Service, Lagos State Command, has handed over Obi Levi Obieze, a notorious crime suspect, to the Lagos State Police Command for further investigation. According to CSP Benjamin Hundeyin, Lagos Police Public Relations Officer, the handover took place at the Police Command Headquarters in Ikeja.
Obieze, also known as Levi Obu Onyeka, was arrested on May 29, 2025, by operatives of the Nigeria Immigration Service at the Gbaji checkpoint along Badagry-Seme Road while attempting to flee the country on a motorcycle. His arrest followed credible intelligence linking him to kidnapping and alleged ritual killings in Isiagu Community, Enugu State.
The suspect, a native doctor from Umuajor village in Enugu, was reportedly part of a group of three men who abducted a 13-year-old girl on May 27, 2025, while she was walking with her father to the farm. The girl was later rescued from a shrine allegedly linked to Obieze. The Nigeria Immigration Service confirmed Obieze's identity through a National Identity Management Commission enrollment slip found in his possession.
The Lagos State Police Command will now conduct further investigation into the alleged crimes. This development highlights the collaborative efforts between law enforcement agencies in Nigeria to bring suspects to justice.
