Justice for Mene Ogidi is no longer a promise; it is now actively underway.
Following the shooting of Mr. Mene Ogidi on 26th April 2026 in Effurun, Delta State, the response from the Force leadership was immediate, decisive, and unambiguous.
All officers involved were withdrawn from Delta State and transferred to Force Headquarters in Abuja. The Force Disciplinary Committee convened and expedited proceedings. The findings were clear: ASP Nuhu Usman committed a gross violation of Force Order 237. His actions were unlawful, unprofessional, and a serious breach of the oath to protect life.
The recommendation is immediate dismissal. The Force leadership approved it without hesitation. The Police Service Commission has received the forwarded recommendation for ratification. Upon completion, the officers will be handed over to judicial authorities for criminal prosecution. Dismissed, then prosecuted, both.
We are aware of the concerns raised by the circulating video. This matter has been treated with the seriousness it deserves, and accountability is being pursued without exception.
To the family of Mene Ogidi, we extend our deepest condolences. This loss is deeply regrettable, and justice will be pursued fully and lawfully.
