On April 26, 2026, near Effurun in Delta State, police shot and killed 28-year-old Mene Ogidi, who was handcuffed after transport union members caught him with a pistol and ammunition.

The footage shows him begging to help officers find the parcel’s sender before Assistant Superintendent Nuhu Usman fired the fatal shot—a clear violation of rules, police admitted.

The leadership of the Nigeria Police Force has directed the immediate transfer of the officer and his team to Force Headquarters, Abuja, where they would face the Force Disciplinary Committee for summary disciplinary measures and prosecution.

The Inspector-General of Police extends his condolences to the family of the deceased and assures them that justice will be served in accordance with the law. He further urges members of the public to remain calm and law-abiding as the disciplinary and legal processes take their course.
