Governor Oborevwori Demands Justice for Oghenemin Ogidi

Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori has condemned the extrajudicial killing of 28-year-old musician Oghenemin Ogidi, which he described as a barbaric act and a grave violation of human life. In a statement issued on Thursday by his Chief Press Secretary, Festu Ahon, Oborevwori expressed deep shock and stress over the incident, asserting that no citizen deserves to be subjected to such brutality.

He extended his heartfelt condolences to the family of the deceased and reaffirmed that the safety and dignity of every citizen remain paramount in his administration. The governor commended Inspector General of Police Olatunji Rilwan Disu for the swift disciplinary actions taken, including the approval for dismissal and prosecution of officers found culpable.

The incident occurred on April 26, 2026, when police operatives, led by ASP Nuhu Usman, reportedly shot Ogidi during an operation where he was apprehended for allegedly attempting to carry a parcel containing a Beretta pistol and ammunition.
