A High Court sitting in Asaba, Delta State, has ordered the remand of a dismissed Assistant Superintendent of Police, ASP, Usman Nuhu, and four others at the Ogwashi-Uku Correctional Centre over the extrajudicial killing of 28-year-old Oghenemene Ogidi in Effurun, Delta State.

The defendants appeared before the court on Monday in connection with the April 26, 2026, shooting of Ogidi, popularly known as OG Millan, an incident that sparked widespread public outrage after a video of the killing circulated on social media.

DAILY POST reports that the officers are facing proceedings under Charge No. DTHC/ASB/CR/M/66/2026 before Justice Marshall Onome Umukoro.

The presiding judge, at the hearing, ordered that the defendants be remanded for 15 working days pending legal advice from the Delta State Attorney-General. The court also directed that all subsequent proceedings involving the accused persons be conducted virtually.

The case stems from the reported fatal shooting of Ogidi in Effurun on April 26. The incident attracted national attention and condemnation, prompting the Nigeria Police Force to initiate disciplinary proceedings against the officers involved.

After investigations, the Inspector-General of Police approved their dismissal and recommended criminal prosecution, citing violations of police operational procedures and regulations governing the use of firearms.

The prosecution of the dismissed officers is being closely watched by rights groups, members of the public, and the victim’s family, who have continued to demand justice and accountability in the case.

The Oyo State Police Command has arrested two individuals for allegedly spreading false information about a purported bandit attack in Lamini Community, Ido Local Government Area, which security authorities say never occurred.

The suspects identified as a pastor and a female resident, were taken into custody after police investigations traced the source of reports which claimed that six people had been killed during a bandit invasion of the community.

In a statement issued on Monday, the Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Olayinka Ayanlade, said the command launched an immediate response after receiving reports that had circulated widely on WhatsApp and other social media platforms.

According to him, the messages alleged that armed bandits had stormed Lamini Community and killed six residents, triggering anxiety among locals and raising concerns about security in the area.

Ayanlade said police operatives and tactical units were promptly deployed to the community to verify the claims and reassure residents.

Investigations, however, showed that no such attack had taken place.

The police spokesperson explained that intelligence gathering and forensic analysis led investigators to Pastor Amos Muyiwa, who was alleged to have recorded and shared the voice message. He reportedly admitted to circulating the information without confirming its accuracy.

Further inquiries linked the origin of the claim to a woman identified as Mulikat Bashiru, who was subsequently tracked down and arrested.

Police said both suspects are assisting investigators as efforts continue to determine whether other individuals played a role in creating or spreading the report.

The command warned against the circulation of unverified information, describing misinformation and disinformation as threats capable of undermining public safety and confidence.

Ayanlade noted that false security alerts can cause unnecessary panic, disrupt economic and social activities, and divert security personnel and resources from genuine emergencies.

He urged residents to verify sensitive information before sharing it, emphasizing the need for responsible use of social media, particularly on issues relating to public safety and security.

At least, 40 people have died following a cholera outbreak that has swept across seven Local Government Areas of Borno State, with more than 3,000 infections recorded in 139 communities, according to government estimates.

The outbreak, which affected Maiduguri, Jere, Mafa, Konduga, Monguno, Ngala and Magumeri between May 1 and May 28, 2026, has raised concerns among residents and health authorities as the number of cases continues to rise.

Data released by the Borno State Government on Saturday, May 30, indicated that cholera had claimed 37 lives and infected more than 3,000 people. The latest figures represent a sharp increase from an epidemiological summary issued three days earlier, which reported 27 deaths and 2,715 infections between May 1 and May 27.

The statistics show that within three days, the death toll rose by 10 while more than 285 new infections were recorded.

According to the data, the Maiduguri metropolis remains the epicentre of the outbreak, accounting for more than half of all reported cases in the state.

The rapid spread of the disease has heightened fears among residents, particularly in densely populated communities where access to clean water and sanitation facilities remains limited.

Authorities have continued surveillance and response efforts in affected areas, while residents have been urged to maintain proper hygiene, ensure safe drinking water and seek immediate medical attention when symptoms appear.
