An old video showing a petition being filed against Usman Nuhu, the police officer allegedly responsible for the death of Mena Ogidi in Delta State, has resurfaced online. The footage has sparked widespread reactions, with many labeling it a political tool and demanding justice for the slain singer.
Background of the Incident
Days ago, the brutal killing of Mena Ogidi went viral, drawing outrage from Nigerians. Human rights activist Harrison Gwamnishu shared updates on the singer's death, while another activist, Oris Lucky, revealed that the firearm found with Mena was a service weapon typically issued to authorities, suggesting foul play.
Lawmaker's Accusations
In the trending video, Honourable Nnamdi Ezechi, representing Ndokwa/Ukwuani Federal Constituency in Delta State, accused Nuhu of a history of intimidation and brutality against citizens. The lawmaker stated that a petition had been filed against the officer two years ago, but no action was taken.
Public Reactions
Social media users expressed disappointment with the police force. Many questioned why Nuhu was not disciplined earlier and called out Delta State Police Public Relations Officer Bright Edafe, who previously claimed to know Nuhu personally. Comments flooded platforms, with users demanding a thorough investigation.
- @coded__dj: Pleaded for Nuhu's address, implying his family would face consequences.
