In a continued effort to address the abduction of its nationals, the Republic of China’s Chief of Consular Section, Mr. Bai Jianusen, visited the Abia State Police Command on the 6th of April, 2025.

The visit was a significant gesture following the kidnapping of several Chinese nationals in the region, which has prompted heightened concerns over their safety.

Police sources told Zagazola Makama that the delegation, led by Mr. Bai, was received on behalf of the Commissioner of Police (Compol) by the Deputy Commissioner of Police (Decompol) in charge of Operations (Dops) in Abia State.

The delegation’s main objective was to express the Chinese government’s deep concern regarding the kidnapping of its citizens and to offer condolences for the tragic loss of a police officer who was killed in the line of duty during the operation.

During the visit, Mr. Bai commended the Abia Police Command for their swift response and ongoing investigation into the abduction. He assured the police that the Chinese government is prepared to assist the investigation by providing any relevant information that could aid in the swift resolution of the case and the safe return of the kidnapped nationals.
