The Inspector-General of Police has ordered the dismissal and prosecution of ASP Nuhu Usman and members of his team over the fatal shooting of a 28-year-old man, Mene Ogidi, in Effurun, Delta State.
The incident, which occurred on April 26, 2026, triggered widespread public outrage and calls for justice across social media and local communities.
Following an internal review, the Force Disciplinary Committee found the officers guilty of gross violation of firearms regulations, particularly provisions outlined in Force Order 237.
As part of the disciplinary process, the affected officers have been transferred to Abuja, where further investigation and legal proceedings are expected to take place.
The development signals a renewed focus on accountability within the police force, especially in cases involving misuse of firearms.
