Inspector-General of Police, IGP Olatunji Rilwan Disu, has ordered the mass transfer of 1,332 officers from the Delta State Command in the aftermath of the extrajudicial killing of Mr. Oghenemine Mena Ogidi.
This sweeping directive follows mounting public outrage over the April 26 shooting in Effurun, Delta State, which claimed the life of the young man.
Disciplinary Actions
Earlier, Deputy Commissioner of Police Anthony Okon Placid confirmed that the Force Leadership had ordered the dismissal and prosecution of officers involved in the incident.
The Force Disciplinary Committee (FDC) found that ASP Usman Nuhu acted in gross violation of Force Order 237, governing the use of firearms.
His actions were deemed unlawful, unprofessional, and a betrayal of the oath to protect life.
The Inspector-General approved the recommendations for dismissal and forwarded them to the Police Service Commission for ratification.
ASP Nuhu and his team are already in custody, while two civilians linked to the case remain under investigation.
An autopsy on the late Oghenemine Mena was conducted yesterday, marking a critical step toward establishing the circumstances of his death and ensuring accountability.
