Nigerian rapper and actor Folarin Falana, widely recognised as Falz or “Bop Daddy,” has publicly called out the police over their handling of a fatal shooting case in Delta State.
The controversy stems from the death of 28-year-old Mene Ogidi, who was reportedly shot in Effurun. The incident has sparked widespread outrage, with many Nigerians demanding transparency and accountability from law enforcement authorities.
Tensions escalated further after the police released an image of the officer allegedly involved in the shooting but with his face concealed. This move quickly drew criticism from the public, who questioned the rationale behind shielding the identity of a key figure in such a serious case.
Reacting via his Instagram story, Falz reshared an official statement issued by Delta State Police Public Relations Officer, Bright Edafe. The entertainer did not hold back in expressing his dissatisfaction, arguing that covering the officer’s face served no real purpose, especially since earlier footage of the incident had already revealed his identity.
Falz’s reaction adds to the growing chorus of voices demanding greater transparency from the police as conversations around justice for Mene Ogidi continue to gain momentum online.
“Absolutely no reason why his face should be covered.”

@bhee_bae:”They know what they’re doing 😢”
@annet_julius013:”The officer who shot the boy in the video has no beard, but the one nigeria police posted has beard. This is confusing did he grow a beard overnight, or is that an old photo? Are they even the same person?”
@_dera_t:”Why is he still calling this Murderer a suspect? I thought a suspect is a person who is believed or thought to be involved in a crime or wrongdoing, but it hasn’t been proven yet?”
@dillobcg:”I guess they covered his face to pre-inform us that they’ll cover the case 💁🏽💁🏽”
@mamufreshhh:”He should be held fully accountable for his actions. Someone with that kind of violent mindset poses a real threat to society.”
@favouredtee:”The man shouldn’t be considered a suspect but a culprit.
