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.

According to The Guardian, 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 barred 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 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.

The Edo State Security Network (ESSN) has arrested two suspects with a large quantity of Illicit drugs at different locations in Benin.

This was contained in a statement issued on Sunday by the
Commissioner for Public Security and Safety, Festus Ebea.

Ebea, who named the suspects as Efosa Uyi and Stella Thompson, noted the state government is committed to ensuring the state is free from illicit drugs.

According to him, drugs recovered included, Indian hemp, crystal methamphetamine (Ice), Colorado (Colos), Canadian Loud, and Scottish Loud, which were seized in large quantities.

Ebea warned drug addicts and those selling Illicit drugs to stay off Edo State, stressing that it’s not a safe haven for their operations.

He disclosed that the suspects will be handed over to the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) for further prosecution. He noted that the prosecution will be followed strictly to ensure justice is served.

“We have arrested two suspects at different points in Benin and primarily will hand them over to NDLEA. We are working very hard to assist the drug agency to get rid of those engaged in drug activities in the state.

“We are not relenting in combing the State and getting drug addicts, and those trading in illicit drugs off the State.

“These two suspects were arrested on Friday 29th May 2026 with a large quantity of Illicit drugs.We are using this medium to warn those selling and dealing in illicit drugs to stop as the State will not be safe for them”.

He called on the youths to stay off drugs as it’s not beneficial to users as they remain useless and end up bad in society.

“We equally call on the youths to stay off drugs as it has no positive impact on their lives but rather end up being useless to the society.

“To save our youth from these illicit drugs, we have to arrest those selling and distributing these drugs in society. Hence, these ones have been arrested and brought before the media.”

Ebea urged journalists to follow up the story and ensure justice is served to serve as a deterrent to other youths.

“Our youths should stay off drugs as it has no benefits to any users, you can’t think of. It will make you end up useless and degraded in society, encourage the youths to stay off drugs, and be safe.

“No criminal arrests that are not connected to drugs. They use drugs to carry out their nefarious activities in the state,” he said.

A 39-year-old man from Barlastone brought the Matero Local Court, Zambia gallery to laughter after he revealed that he married a Lusaka seller who charged him K50 per round during their matrimonial games.

Aubrey told the court that the behaviour of his wife, Stella Tembo, a 25-year-old Easterner was undiplomatic due to her unacceptable demands and conditions every time he wanted to be intimate with her.

According to Zambia Observer, he said the two got married in 2009 and that his wife had continually made his life miserable for the past 17 years that he got to a point that he resorted to never have s3x her again.

He lamented that when he finally gave up on paying for what rightfully and lawfully belonged to him, Stella started covering her entire body with clothes while in bed.

“I have never had peace. Despite paying lobola, I was still paying to have sex with her.

“I also found out that she was using charms on me, such that I could not say no to her even though I was paying,” he said.

In her defense, Stella swore that she had been a good wife to Aubrey and that he was free to express his desires on her in whatever style he wished.

She said she only started charging him after he married another woman elsewhere and rented a house for her.

“He even moved out of our home, saying he had gone to the mountain to pray.

“For five months, my husband was nowhere to be found.

“I later discovered that he had married elsewhere and was renting another house,” she said.

The wife also accused her husband of using charms on her, which left her like the woman with the issue of blood in the Bible, who was isolated from the society for 12 years.

“He cut a piece from my green chitenge and took it to a witchdoctor, and I have never stopped bleeding since then,” she alleged.

The magistrate, Harriet Mulenga granted the couple divorce and ordered the husband to pay the wife K17,000 for adultery.

Mulenga also ordered Aubrey to pay K1,000 monthly child maintenance, while household goods were to be shared equally between the two parties.

…you came back too late —Woman

A 40-year-old businessman, Auwal Musa, has prayed a Sharia court sitting in Magajin Gari, Kaduna, Kaduna State, to order his ex-wife, Hauwa, to return to their matrimonial home.

According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), Auwal, in his petition, said that his ex-wife forced him to divorce her after a year of getting married to her.

“I signed the divorce papers under duress. I gave one pronouncement of divorce to her and later went to their house to cancel the divorce before she finished the Iddah, but she refused to come back.

“She had left with my plasma TV, gas cylinder, electric kettle, two caps and documents belonging to my father. I want them back,” he said.

In her defense, Hauwa said he came back too late.

She explained that she had already finished her waiting period (Iddah) before Musa asked her to come back.

“I only took his plasma TV and gas cylinder. I am keeping the items pending when he pays me the N31,500 he owes me.

“He gave me the electric kettle as a gift while we were courting.

“I have no idea where his caps and father’s documents are,” she said.

The judge, Malam Murtala Nasir, advised Musa to go home and search for the documents.

He then adjourned the case.
