The Delta State, Nigeria High Court has ordered the remand of police officer Usman Nuhu over the alleged killing of 28-year-old singer Oghenemine Mene Ogidi, popularly known as OG Millan, in Effurun.
The incident drew widespread public attention in April after a viral video circulated on social media. The footage appeared to show the musician being restrained by an officer attached to the Delta State Police Command before being shot. In the video, the victim is seen seated on the ground with his hands tied behind his back with a rope.
The footage sparked public outrage, with calls across social media for the prosecution of the officer involved and justice for the deceased.
Police spokesperson Bright Edafe confirmed that Usman Nuhu had been arrested and transferred to Force Headquarters in Abuja for internal disciplinary proceedings.
Inspector-General of Police Tunji Disu later approved the recommendation of the Force Disciplinary Committee, leading to his dismissal from the police force.
On Monday, Usman Nuhu appeared in court alongside four other suspects Onoloko Dauroupamo, Okoh Kelechi, Goodluck Kingsley, and Omonigho Ahweyevu under charge number DTHC/ASB/CR/M/66c/2026.
All five defendants were arraigned and remanded following the hearing.
Human rights activist Harrison Gwamnishu said the court ordered their detention at Ogwashi-Uku Correctional Centre pending further trial proceedings, describing the development as a significant step in the pursuit of justice.
