Nigeria Immigration Service personnel at the Badagry-Seme border have apprehended Obi Levi Obieze, alias Levi Obu Onyeka, who is wanted by the Nigeria Police for alleged abduction, kidnapping, and ritual killing.
ACI Akinsola Akinlabi, the service public relations officer, made this announcement in a statement released on Thursday in Abuja, stating that the Comptroller General of Immigration Service, Kemi Nandap, confirmed the arrest.
Part of the statement claims that Obi Levi Obieze, a native doctor and resident of Umuojor village in Isiagu Community, Enugu State, allegedly kidnapped a 13-year-old girl on May 27, 2025.
“The victim was reportedly abducted by a group of three men while walking with her father to farm. She was subsequently rescued by the police from a shrine purportedly linked to the suspect, according to a news article published on 28th May, 2025, by a national newspaper.
“Through credible intelligence, Obi Levi Obieze was apprehended by vigilant men of the Nigeria Immigration Service, Lagos State Border Patrol Command, at Gbaji checkpoint along Badagry-Seme Road while attempting to flee the country on a motorcycle. He is currently in custody, and his identity has been confirmed through a National Identity Management Commission enrolment slip found in his possession. During initial questioning, he admitted to the alleged crimes.
“The Nigeria Immigration Service is collaborating with the Nigeria Police Force for the suspect’s handover and further investigation while reaffirming its commitment to border security,” he stated.
