The Nigeria Police Force, through operatives of the INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB), Abuja, has arrested and repatriated Mahadijiria Abdoulaye, a Chadian national wanted by authorities in N’Djamena in connection with the murder of Nazik Mahamat Saleh, who was tortured and killed on May 3, 2026.
According to a statement on Saturday, Force Public Relations Officer, CSP Ani Iniedu, an international warrant of arrest was issued by the Court of Appeal, N’Djamena, on June 22, 2026, for Abdoulaye and her accomplice, Fatime Senoussi Mouktar, in connection with the case.
Iniedu explained that Abdoulaye, who is also linked to narcotics trafficking activities in Chad, fled to Nigeria following the incident and was subsequently traced and arrested by operatives of INTERPOL NCB Abuja on August 5, 2026, at Railway Quarters, Nasarawa Local Government Area, Kano State, following coordinated intelligence operations.
The FPRO added that the suspect was successfully repatriated to N’Djamena, Chad, through Lomé, Togo, on Friday August 14, 2026, under established bilateral Police cooperation arrangements.
He further noted that the operation was conducted by INTERPOL NCB Abuja in close collaboration with INTERPOL NCB N’Djamena to facilitate her return to Chad to face the judicial process.
Commending the successful operation, the Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, commended the operatives of INTERPOL NCB Abuja for their professionalism, diligence and effective coordination with their Chadian counterparts.
The IGP noted that the successful arrest and repatriation reflects the Force’s commitment to ensuring that fugitives do not evade justice by crossing international borders.
The Nigeria Police reiterates its commitment to leveraging established international policing channels and partnerships to track fugitives, disrupt trans-border criminal networks and ensure that persons wanted for serious crimes do not find safe haven in Nigeria.
