The Lagos State Police Command has detained a Chinese national, Bai Quang, following allegations that he sexually assaulted and repeatedly made unwanted advances towards his Nigerian employee, Charles Nwafor . Quang was arrested on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, after Nwafor petitioned the police, alleging that his employer made repeated unwanted sexual advances and assaulted him after he rejected the advances .
According to a police source, one of the alleged incidents occurred when Quang pulled down Nwafor's trousers and touched his private parts without his consent . The source further alleged that Quang later invited Nwafor to a hotel under the pretext of discussing a business transaction, where he attempted to force him into unwanted sexual acts . The alleged attempt was reportedly unsuccessful, after which Nwafor reported the matter to the police .
Following the petition, the Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fatai Tijani, ordered the transfer of the case from the Hausa Police Station to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Yaba, for further investigation . The investigation is being handled by the Diplomatic/Foreign Nationals Section of the SCID under the supervision of the Deputy Commissioner of Police in charge of the department, Dayo Akinbisehin . The Chinese Embassy has been notified of Quang's arrest and detention in line with procedures for cases involving foreign nationals .
Police said the suspect remains in custody while investigators work to establish the full circumstances surrounding the allegations and determine the appropriate legal action . The case comes amid a broader restructuring of the Lagos SCID into specialised units and sections aimed at strengthening the command's response to emerging and specialised crimes . Under the new structure, the Diplomatic/Foreign Nationals Crimes Section handles criminal cases involving non-Nigerians in Lagos while facilitating coordination with relevant foreign embassies .
