An intelligence-led operation was swiftly deployed to arrest Victor Benjamin
The Eastern South Regional Police Command has arrested a 26-year-old Nigerian national, Victor Benjamin, wanted for the alleged abduction and murder of a Nigerian Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) officer and her daughter in Ogun State, Nigeria.
Regional Commander DCOP George Ohene-Boadi confirmed that the suspect fled Nigeria after the crime gained widespread attention and reportedly sought refuge in Ghana with friends in Akyem Wenchi, Akwatia.
An intelligence-led operation was swiftly deployed after police received information that Victor Benjamin was hiding at a friend’s house in the area, leading to his arrest.
“The suspect is currently in police custody, and frantic efforts are underway to hand him over to the Nigerian authorities,” DCOP Ohene-Boadi stated.

The arrest underscores the importance of cross-border collaboration between Ghanaian and Nigerian law enforcement agencies in tracking and apprehending fugitives. Authorities have urged citizens to remain vigilant and cooperate with the police to ensure safety within their communities.
Further updates on the case will be communicated by the Eastern South Regional Police Command as developments occur.
