Youths Block Delta Police Station Over Killing of Musician OG Millan

Youths in Effurun, Delta State, stormed the Ekpan Police Station on Wednesday.

They were protesting the extrajudicial killing of 28-year-old musician Oghenemine Ogidi, better known as OG Millan.

The incident occurred on Sunday, April 26, 2026, when Ogidi was allegedly apprehended by police.

According to the Delta State Police Command, Ogidi was suspected of attempting to ship a package containing a Beretta pistol and ammunition.

A video soon surfaced showing Ogidi lying on the ground, hands and legs tied, pleading for his life.

Despite his pleas, ASP Nuhu Usman, the officer leading the team, shot him.

The killing ignited anger in the local community, with youths marching to the police station.

They blocked the station’s entry and exit points, demanding justice for the slain musician, known as Omena to his community.
