The Nigeria Police Force has successfully completed the extradition of Benjamin Best Nnayereugo, widely known as “Killaboi,” from Doha, Qatar, to Nigeria.
A statement released today by ACP Olumuyiwa Adejobi, spokesperson of the force, says the fugitive, who had been on the run for the murder of Miss Augusta Oseodion Onuwabhagbe, was returned to the country in the early hours of today, Saturday, 19th April 2025, through the coordinated efforts with the Ministry of Justice, INTERPOL National Central Bureau (NCB), Force Headquarters Abuja and the Qatari Judicial Authorities.
Adejobi added that the extradition followed a petition from the family of the deceased, submitted through their legal representatives, dated 29th September 2024. The matter was assigned to INTERPOL NCB Abuja for investigation.
Investigations revealed that the suspect, Benjamin Best Nnayereugo, murdered Miss Onuwabhagbe, a 21-year-old first-class student of Lead City University, Ibadan, at his residence located at No. 24a Abiola Apooyi Street, Oral Estate, Ajah, Lagos, on 13th July 2023. After committing the crime, he fled Nigeria and later released an online video purporting to confess to the act, a deceptive strategy to derail investigative efforts.
''Following his declaration as wanted by the NPF Lagos State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) on 13th October 2023, an INTERPOL Red Notice was issued for his global apprehension. He was initially arrested in Freetown, Sierra Leone, on 20th October 2023 under the false identity “KANU PRINCETON SAMUEL,” but escaped custody during a prison break on 26th November 2023 in Feeetown.
Further intelligence gathering revealed that the suspect continued to evade law enforcement, traversing multiple regions including West Africa, East Asia and the Middle East, under forged identities before eventually relocating to Doha, Qatar on 24th January, 2025. Operating under the alias “TOURE ABDOULAYE” with a fraudulent Guinean passport, he secured illegal employment and concealed his identity.''
Through robust international cooperation and the use of advanced biometrics, INTERPOL NCB Abuja, in collaboration with INTERPOL NCB Doha, confirmed his identity, leading to his arrest by Qatari authorities in February 2025. An official extradition request, processed via the Federal Ministry of Justice, Abuja, was subsequently approved by the Qatari judicial authorities, resulting in his repatriation to Nigeria.
The Inspector-General of Police, IGP Kayode Adeolu Egbetokun, Ph.D., NPM, while recognising the strength in the synergy amongst nations to curb trans-border crimes, commended the diligence of INTERPOL NCB Abuja and extended sincere appreciation to the Honourable Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, the Government of Qatar, INTERPOL NCB Doha, and the Nigerian Embassy in Qatar for their invaluable collaboration in securing the fugitive’s return.
The Inspector-General of Police further assured the general public of the Nigeria Police Force's commitment to ensuring that the suspect faces diligent prosecution, as part of the NPF’s dedication to justice and the safety of all Nigerians.
No hiding place
Wow. Even changing names and using fake ID and passport no dey work these days. Biometrics and facial recognition will identify you while working on the streets anywhere now. It's just a matter of time. Best thing is to avoid crime in the first place
This is commendable.Kudos to all involved in the process of getting this criminal to face the music if his crime.
D guy get mind ooooo. Using different pseudonym....
Make una shut up all of you saying rubbish. I'm not saying what he did is right but the truth be say na wetin d girl sabi chop kill her. To all those yeye mothers that their daughters will be spending lavishly when they know their so called daughters has no means of getting legit money but they will keep quite without questioning their daughters because of peanuts they get from them. Some naija girls deserve such death. Una go dey find money spender up and down, una go dey date them until una finish their money, after everything the guy go con dey broke. before anything una don jump to another available guy and start to dey misbehave in the relationship. Na xo fight take dey start. It's common among naija ladies to always act like the smartest but at the end of the day some men no get joy. U can't f with them and go free like that. That's one of the main reason u don't f with SA guys. Una go use juju, do this and that to collect and spend guy money, small brokenness like this una don jump to another guy all in the name of being smart. UNA GO LEARN IN HARD WAY. I NO DEY PITY SUCH DEATH. SHE DESERVE IT

That Na if he still get better money. The report says he obtained illegal employment using a false iD. He may be broke. And on that note, sorry. He is done. He would do time. Instead of spending the last money on bribe wey men go chop and still disappoint him, he should get the best criminal lawyer.

This guy would have just surrendered and done some time with that money in a Nigeria cell you be vip,rather he was using it to fly here and there trying to run from the law he would have used that to at least to hire the best lawyers that would reduce his jail time to the bearest but he panicked and made a lot of wrong moves.Nigeria no really value life the way money Dey valued it’s just so sad that if this guy still get money he can still walk out free
Mumu Boi, u for stay the Guinea and bear the Touray... The moment u leave the continent, u failed. So sad if u are innocent
So Nigeria police can work this diligently, yet Nigerians are kidnapped, raped and murdered inside Nigeria on a daily basis and they murderers roam free. Please explain Nigeria insecurity to me when capable police men and women abound in Nigeria.
