The police in Lagos have arrested
two men for allegedly poisoning a 61-year-old Chinese businessman, Zhang Bofan,
and later duping him of N2.5m.
The suspects, Ifeanyi Ndubuisi and
Roland Okorie as well as an unidentified woman, allegedly poisoned their
victim, who had just imported mobile phone accessories into Nigeria.
The incident occurred on January 23,
2013, a day before Zhang was billed to travel back to China.

eating a meal prepared by one of the suspects.
Zhang, who lodged at Kelvinson
International Hotel in Ojo area of the state, reportedly fell unconscious after
eating the meal and was rushed to a private hospital where he was treated.
The Chinese national said despite
his poor state of health, the suspects whom he had a prior business deal with,
went to his warehouse at Agric, along Badagry Expressway and started
off-loading phone accessories and handkerchiefs stocked in the building.
In the process however, they were
accosted by Zhang’s cousin, Wenya Umeh, who raised the alarm and drew the
attention of the police.
He said, “I was billed to travel
back to China on January 25, 2013 for a business trip and to bring mobile
phones and other phone accessories which I deal in but the illness really
affected me and I could not go till now.”
According to the police, the
suspects, who are planning to flee with the goods, also stole a total sum
of N2.5million from Zhang.
