Five police officers accused of involvement in the alleged killing of a 28-year-old Delta State musician and delivery worker, Oghenemine Million Ogidi, popularly known as OG Millan, have been arraigned before a High Court in Asaba and remanded in custody pending further legal proceedings.

The officers were brought before High Court 5 sitting in Asaba in a case that has continued to attract public attention and calls for justice. Proceedings were held before Justice Marshal Onome Umukoro under Suit No. THC/ASB/CR/M/66C/2026.

The defendants are ASP Usman Nuhu, 42; ASP Onoloko Dauroupamo, 47; ASP Okoh Kelechi, 46; Inspector Goodluck Kingsley, 42; and Inspector Omonigho Ahweyevu, 41.

The court ordered that the officers be remanded at the Ogwashi-Uku Correctional Centre pending further action on the matter; even as journalists were banned from covering the proceedings.

The case was subsequently adjourned to June 15, 2026, for arraignment following a request for legal advice from the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP).

Ogidi was reportedly killed on April 26, 2026, after he was allegedly intercepted in Effurun, Delta State, while delivering a package said to contain a firearm and ammunition.

Speaking after the court session, the deceased’s elder brother, Victory Ogidi, expressed dissatisfaction with what he described as the lack of communication between authorities and the family regarding the progress of the case.

According to him, relatives of the deceased have been forced to rely on social media reports and unofficial sources for information about the investigation and court proceedings.
“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 appealed to the Delta State Attorney-General, the Ministry of Justice, and the Nigeria Police Force to ensure transparency and provide regular updates to the family.

He maintained that the family’s demand was not for preferential treatment but for inclusion in a process that directly affects them.

Also commenting on the proceedings, human rights activist Harrison Gwamnishu described the arraignment of the officers as a positive step towards ensuring accountability and justice.

He said the court directed that all the suspects remain in custody while the DPP reviews the case and provides the necessary legal advice.

“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,” Gwamnishu stated.

He expressed optimism that the legal process would be expedited to pave the way for a full trial.

However, the activist raised concerns over allegations by the family that they had not been adequately informed about developments in the investigation.

According to him, the family claimed it had neither been shown the autopsy report nor formally briefed on the status of the case.

Gwamnishu further alleged that there were attempts to limit public observation of the proceedings, including restrictions on journalists seeking to cover the hearing.
