Harrison Gwamnishu Shares Update on Mene Ogidi Case
Activist Harrison Gwamnishu has provided a fresh update on the killing of singer Mene Ogidi in Delta State. The case, which involves ASP Usman Nuhu and four other police officers, has drawn national attention in recent weeks. The latest development comes after police authorities arrested, investigated, and dismissed the officers involved.
Gwamnishu shared a court order regarding the killing through his Instagram page on June 1, 2026. The incident, which occurred at the Effurun-Ovwie Command, involved ASP Usman Nuhu and four other officers. A video of the incident, originally shared by Gwamnishu on April 28, showed the singer tied up and pleading for mercy. In the footage, Mene Ogidi explained that he had been deceived by a friend and insisted he had no knowledge of any crime, promising to reveal everything before an officer suddenly shot him.
The clip quickly went viral, sparking outrage among Nigerians and celebrities who demanded justice. Delta State Police Public Relations Officer Bright Edafe later confirmed that ASP Usman had been arrested and taken to Abuja for internal disciplinary action. Following investigations, Inspector-General of Police Tunji Disu approved the recommendation of the Force Disciplinary Committee to dismiss Usman from the force.
Court Appearance and Remand
On Monday, June 1, 2026, Gwamnishu announced that Usman Nuhu appeared in court alongside four other officers linked to the case. The officers were identified as Onoloko Dauroupamo, Okoh Kelechi, Goodluck Kingsley, and Omonigho Ahweyevu. They were arraigned under charge number DTHC/ASB/CR/M/66c/2026 and ordered to be remanded.
Gwamnishu explained that the Delta State High Court directed all five suspects to be held at the Ogwashi-Uku Correctional Centre while the trial continues. He described the arraignment as an important step for those pushing for accountability. In a statement, he said, "ASP Usman and his team members remanded in Ogwashi-Uku Correctional Centre. More details shortly."
Later, he shared another update, noting that the case file had been sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions for legal advice. He wrote, "UPDATE: Today at High Court 5 Asaba. Charge No DTHC/ASB/CR/M/66c/2026. Name of ASP Usman Nuhu and other team members remanded into Ogwashi-Uku Correctional Centre. Casefile sent to DPP for Legal Advice."
Background of the Case
The killing of Mene Ogidi, also known as OG Millan, has been a focal point for activists demanding an end to police brutality in Nigeria. The viral video showing the singer's final moments sparked widespread condemnation and calls for justice. Gwamnishu's updates have kept the public informed about the legal proceedings, ensuring that the case remains in the spotlight.
In a related incident, Gwamnishu had earlier warned Nigerians about another police officer, Newton Isokpehi, who allegedly threatened citizens and warned them not to record him while on duty. Gwamnishu called for the officer to be removed from active road duty, subjected to a substance test, and properly examined, while urging Nigerians to respect officers at checkpoints and avoid unnecessary confrontations.
This latest development marks a significant move in the ongoing demand for justice over the killing of Mene Ogidi. The remand of the officers signals that authorities are taking the case seriously, though activists continue to push for a thorough investigation and fair trial.
