Fresh allegations have surfaced against Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Nuhu Usman, following his arrest by the Delta State Police Command over the fatal shooting of a 28-year-old musician in Effurun.….....

The Command confirmed on April 28, 2026, that ASP Usman was taken into custody over the killing of Oghenemine, popularly known as OG Millan.

According to a police statement, the incident occurred on April 26, 2026, when operatives attached to the Area Command, Effurun, acted on intelligence regarding a suspect allegedly in possession of a firearm.

Police authorities claimed the suspect, identified as Mene Ogidi, was apprehended while attempting to transport a Beretta pistol with four rounds of ammunition. However, a viral video circulating online appears to contradict the official account, showing the victim restrained, pleading for his life, and offering to cooperate with officers.

Sources allege that the victim’s hands and legs were bound before ASP Usman discharged his weapon. The Delta State Police Command has since acknowledged that the officer violated Force Order 237 and standard operational procedures. Commissioner of Police, CP Yemi Oyeniyi, has condemned the incident and confirmed that Usman has been transferred to Force Headquarters in Abuja for disciplinary action and prosecution.

Following the development, more individuals have begun sharing alleged past encounters with the officer, accusing him of abuse of power, harassment, and extortion.

One such account was posted on X (formerly Twitter) by user @djParis, who alleged that she was assaulted and forced to pay N50,000 to ASP Usman during an encounter in 2023.

According to her account, the incident occurred during a traffic hold-up when she boarded a commercial motorcycle. She claimed that Usman and his team stopped the bike, ordered her to disembark, and proceeded to assault her with a firearm.

She further alleged that the officer made inappropriate and degrading remarks about her body, physically harassed her, and threatened her life, warning that she should be grateful the encounter happened during the day.

Recounting her experience, she said, “Same policeman that asked me why my ass was shaking even as I wore trousers, and he even had to touch my yansh also. There was a bit of hold-up a few years ago in 2023.

“I had to hop on a bike when he and his squad stopped the bike. He asked me to come down. He, in particular, hit me with a gun and dragged the bike man down and asked me to enter their shuttle bus. As I was approaching the shuttle bus, he hit me again with his gun and said, ‘Why was my yansh shaking?’ I couldn’t say anything. He hit me again with the same gun and said I should thank God it was daytime; if not, he would have wasted me.

“He said I must pay N50,000. I asked for which crime. He said he would take me to the police station and they would deal with me if I didn’t pay. I said I preferred to go to the station. One boy in the bus said if I had money, I should pay; otherwise, they might harm me on the way. He then asked another man in mufti to follow me to a POS, where I withdrew N50,000 and gave them.

“I will attach how I was dressed that day. It wasn’t even indecent. I cried and cried and told him that earth would deal with him. Most of these police are brutal. He was so bold in telling me I should thank God it was in a daytime, if not…”
