China opens police station in Nigeria, NPF says not aware

The Chinese government has reportedly opened police stations in Nigeria and in over 20 countries in Europe, the Americas, Asia and Africa in effort to tackle the increasing criminal activities of its citizens abroad.

This was contained in an investigative statement titled: ‘110 Overseas Chinese Transnational Policing Gone Wild.’

But the Nigerian Police Police (NPF) says it is not aware of any such development.

“Not aware. I will find out,” was the response that came from the spokesman of the Nigeria Police, CSP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, when RELIABLESOURCENG.COM enquired from him of the veracity of the information.

It was widely reported that the police stations are created to bring “down on all kinds of illegal and criminal activities involving overseas Chinese.”

Lesotho and Tanzania are the two other African countries, apart from Nigeria, that have Chinese police stations.

The report by Safeguard Defender revealed: “Rather than cooperating with local authorities in the full respect of territorial sovereignty, it prefers to cooperate with (United Front-linked) overseas ‘NGOs’ or ‘civil society associations’ across the five continents, setting up an alternative policing and judicial system within third countries, and directly implicating those organisations in the illegal methods employed to pursue ‘fugitives’.”
