The Nigeria Immigration Service has intercepted and arrested a notorious fugitive, Obi Levi Obieze—also known as Levi Obu Onyeka—while he was attempting to escape the country through the Badagry-Seme border in Lagos State.
Obieze, a native of Umuojor village in Isiagu Community, Enugu State, has been on the wanted list of the Enugu State Police Command for his alleged role in multiple kidnappings and ritual activities, including the recent abduction of a 13-year-old girl.
According to reports, the young girl was taken by three unidentified men while accompanying her father to the farm. She was later rescued from a shrine allegedly connected to Obieze, who is widely known in the area as a native doctor.
In a statement released by ACI AS Akinlabi, spokesperson for the Immigration Service, the suspect was caught at the Gbaji checkpoint while trying to flee on a motorcycle. Authorities confirmed his identity using a National Identity Management Commission (NIMC) slip found in his possession..
“During preliminary interrogation, the suspect confessed to the crimes he is accused of,” the statement noted.
The Immigration Service has since begun working closely with the Nigeria Police Force to facilitate Obieze’s handover and ensure a thorough investigation. The agency reiterated its dedication to strengthening border security and preventing criminal elements from evading justice.
