Chinese arrested in Lagos over alleged sexual assault, unwanted advances on Nigerian employee

The Lagos State Police have apprehended a Chinese man, Bai Quang, over allegations of sexual assault and persistent unwanted advances towards his Nigerian employee, Charles Nwafor. The employee made a complaint to the police, stating that Quang had made repeated sexual advances towards him, despite Nwafor's objections. Among the alleged incidents, Quang is accused of pulling down Nwafor's trousers and touching his private parts, among other acts.

The suspect is also reported to have invited Nwafor to a hotel, claiming it was for discussing a business deal, where he allegedly tried to force the Nigerian man into unwanted sexual activity. This unsuccessful attempt led Nwafor to report the matter to the police and subsequently, Quang terminated Nwafor's employment. The Lagos State Commissioner of Police, Fatai Tijani, directed the case to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) Yaba for further investigation.

The case is being handled by the Diplomatic/Foreign Nationals Section of SCID. The Chinese Embassy has been informed about Quang's arrest and detention, in line with procedures for cases involving foreign nationals. The investigation aims to establish the facts and determine the appropriate legal action based on the investigation's outcome.
