Dismissed ASP Ogbegbe Remains in Custody as Court Grants Bail to Four Co-Defendants in Delta Killing Case

 

A court in Asaba, Delta State, has ordered dismissed Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Usman Nuhu, popularly known as Ogbegbe, to remain in custody in connection with the alleged killing of 28-year-old Oghenemine Ogidi, while four of his co-defendants have been granted bail.

The case has attracted public attention following allegations surrounding the death of Ogidi, a musician and delivery worker also known as OG Million, who reportedly died after a shooting incident at Effurun Roundabout in Delta State on April 26, 2026.

Four Co-Defendants Granted Bail

The four defendants granted bail were identified in reports as Owoloko Daurou, Okoh Kelechi, Goodluck Kingsley and Omonigho Ahweyevu.

According to reports on the court proceedings, the defendants were granted bail after their lawyers submitted applications requesting their release pending the continuation of the case.

However, Ogbegbe was ordered to remain in custody. Reports indicate that his lawyer had not filed a bail application on his behalf at the time of the proceedings.

The legal proceedings are continuing, and the defendants have not been convicted in the case.

Allegations Surrounding the Killing

The case concerns the death of Oghenemine Ogidi, popularly known as OG Million, following a reported shooting at Effurun Roundabout.

The incident has raised concerns about the circumstances surrounding the death and the conduct of security personnel.

During the proceedings, reports attributed various statements to the defendants concerning their alleged involvement and the circumstances surrounding the incident. However, allegations made during court proceedings must be distinguished from facts established by the court.

Claims circulating on social media about Ogbegbe's physical condition and alleged mistreatment in custody have not been independently verified and should therefore be treated with caution.

Why Is Ogbegbe Still in Custody?< /p>

Reports indicate that Ogbegbe's lawyer had not filed a bail application, unlike the lawyers representing the four defendants who were granted bail.

His continued detention does not, by itself, establish his guilt. The prosecution must prove its case in accordance with the law, and the court will determine the matter based on the evidence presented.

Similarly, the granting of bail to the other defendants does not amount to an acquittal.

When Is the Next Court Hearing?

Reports from the Delta State Ministry of Justice and other media outlets indicate that the case was adjourned to November 18, 2026, for the adoption of final written addresses.

Readers should note that some social media posts have circulated a different date. The court's latest official information should be relied upon for any subsequent changes to the hearing schedule.

Public Interest and the Search for Justice

The death of Oghenemine Ogidi has drawn attention to the need for a transparent judicial process and accountability where wrongdoing is established.

As the case continues, the family of the deceased and members of the public will be looking for answers about the circumstances surrounding his death.

For now, the legal process remains ongoing. The allegations against the defendants must be examined fairly, with the rights of the accused respected and the search for justice for the deceased pursued through the courts.

Daily Gist & Guide will continue to follow developments in the case as more verified information becomes available.
