Five police officers accused in connection with the death of Oghenemine Ogidi, popularly known as OG Millan, were on Monday arraigned before High Court 5 sitting in Asaba, Delta State.

The defendants include ASP Usman Nuhu (42), ASP Onoloko Dauroupamo (47), ASP Okoh Kelechi (46), Inspector Goodluck Kingsley (42), and Inspector Omonigho Ahweyevu (41). The case, filed under Suit No. THC/ASB/CR/M/66C/2026, came before Justice Marshal Onome Umukoro.

The officers were ordered to be remanded at the Ogwashi-Uku Correctional Centre pending further proceedings in the matter, just as the court adjourned the case till June 15, 2026, for arraignment, following a request for legal advice from the Directorate of Public Prosecutions.

Unfortunately, the family was not informed, just as journalists were not allowed into the courtroom during the proceedings.

Family members of the 28-year-old musician allegedly killed by some policemen have lamented that the police authorities have refused to update them on developments in the case.

Speaking after the hearing, human rights activist Harrison Gwamnishu described the officers’ appearance in court as a positive step toward justice.

He said the court ordered that the suspects remain in custody pending legal advice from the DPP.

“Today, they finally produced the officers in court, including the principal suspect and others. The judge ordered that they remain in custody while the DPP reviews the case,” he said.

He raised concerns that the deceased’s family had not been properly updated on developments in the case.

According to him, the family alleged that they had not been shown the autopsy report or formally briefed on the investigation.

He also claimed there were attempts to restrict public observation of the proceedings, although journalists and observers insisted on being present.

Gwamnishu further disclosed that future hearings may be conducted virtually, with the suspects appearing from the correctional facility while proceedings are followed remotely in court. He expressed hope that the legal process would move quickly so the full trial could commence.

Also speaking, a cousin of the deceased, Emuobor Alex, said the family was not adequately informed about the court sitting and only got details through unofficial sources.

He explained that family members travelled from Warri to Asaba after receiving early morning information that the matter would be heard in court.

“We were advised to contact the Commissioner of Police, but later got information from activists that the case would be heard today. We rushed down to Asaba immediately,” he said.

Alex said the family arrived at the court after proceedings had already ended, leaving them frustrated.

He appealed to the Delta State Ministry of Justice and other authorities to ensure timely communication with the family going forward.

“Our only request is to be carried along. We want to know what is happening in the case of our late brother,” he said.

Similarly, the elder brother of the deceased, Victory Ogidi, also complained about the lack of communication from the authorities handling the case.

He said the family had been relying on social media and third-party information instead of official updates.

“We lost our brother, and we should not be relying on social media to know what is happening in a case that concerns us directly,” he said.

Victory urged the Attorney-General of Delta State, the Ministry of Justice, and the Nigeria Police Force to ensure transparency and regular updates for the family.

He stressed that the family was not asking for special treatment, but only to be properly informed and included in the process.

Oyo State Police Command said it has arrested no fewer than two people in connection with a false alarm over the invasion of a community by suspected bandits.

The suspects include a pastor identified as Amos Joel Muyiwa and one Mulikat Bashiru.

The command made this known via a statement signed by its Public Relations Officer, Olayinka Ayanlade.

The statement was made available to DAILY POST on Monday.

Ayanlade, in the statement, said the two suspects are currently in police custody.

He said the suspects deliberately misled the public.

Ayanlade stated that the suspects deliberately disseminated false information alleging that bandits had invaded Lamini Community.

DAILY POST reports that the community is one of the communities in Ido Local Government Area of the state.

He said the command, upon receiving the information, immediately mobilised patrol and tactical teams to the community.

He added that it was discovered that the purported bandit invasion and killing of six persons never occurred.

He said, “The Oyo State Police Command wishes to inform members of the public that it has arrested two suspects in connection with the deliberate dissemination of false information alleging that bandits invaded Lamini Community in Ido Local Government Area of Oyo State and killed six persons.

“The ensuing intelligence-driven investigation, supported by forensic analysis, traced the incriminating voice note to Pastor Amos Joel Muyiwa, who was subsequently arrested.

“Further investigations revealed that the false alarm originated from one Mulikat Bashiru, who had raised the unfounded claim within the community. She was thereafter identified, traced, and arrested in connection with the matter.”

The Federal High Court in Lagos has ordered the final forfeiture of N17,100,595.40 to the Federal Government after the money was linked to an alleged romance fraud scheme currently under investigation by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC.

Justice A.O. Owoeye of the Federal High Court sitting in Ikoyi gave the order on Monday, June 1, 2026, following an application filed by the EFCC’s Lagos Zonal Directorate 1 through its counsel, C.C. Okezie.

A statement by the EFCC said the funds, domiciled in an Access Bank account, are linked to Ifeanyi Alele David, who is being investigated by the anti-graft agency over alleged romance scam activities and related offences.

The court had earlier, on February 26, 2026, granted an interim forfeiture of the money and directed the EFCC to publish the order in a national newspaper to allow any interested party to show cause why the funds should not be permanently forfeited to the Federal Government.

During proceedings for the final forfeiture, Okezie told the court that the Commission complied with the directive by publishing the interim forfeiture notice in The Punch newspaper on April 10, 2026.

She further informed the court that no individual or organisation came forward within the stipulated period to challenge the forfeiture.

The EFCC’s application was supported by an affidavit deposed to by one of its operatives, Samson Aguma, who outlined the outcome of investigations conducted by the Commission.

According to the affidavit, the EFCC received a petition from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), alleging that David was involved in a romance scam linked to the death of a United States citizen.

Aguma said a victim of the alleged romance scam died by suicide in a hotel room in Denver, Colorado, United States, on September 15, 2021.

According to him, investigators who recovered the victim’s mobile phone after the incident discovered multiple messages exchanged with an individual identified as “Garry Micheal” on the Google Hangouts platform.

Investigators said the suspect allegedly continued to solicit money from the victim using different fabricated stories. He also requested funds to secure his release from prison and enable him to travel back to the United States.

“The suspect repeatedly solicited funds from the victim under various false pretences, including requests for money to secure his release from prison and facilitate his return to the United States,” the statement said.

According to the affidavit, the suspect allegedly asked the victim for an additional $60,000 on the day she died, even after she had reportedly informed him of her severe financial difficulties and lack of funds.

The FBI’s investigation further revealed that the victim sent approximately $154,500 between August 30 and September 13, 2021, through various channels connected to the alleged romance scam.

Aguma told the court that forensic investigations traced email accounts, internet protocol (IP) addresses, telephone records and an Apple iCloud account linked to the alleged romance fraud activities to David in Nigeria.

He added that the N17,100,595.40 found in David’s Access Bank account was reasonably suspected to be proceeds of unlawful activities and part of the funds generated from the alleged scam.

After reviewing the evidence and submissions presented by the EFCC, Justice Owoeye held that the application had merit and subsequently ordered the final forfeiture of the N17.1 million to the Federal Government of Nigeria.
