ASP Nuhu Usman Arrested After Fatal Shooting of OG Millan and Alleged Force Order Breach

TL;DR: Assistant Superintendent of Police Nuhu Usman has been arrested for the fatal shooting of musician OG Millan, admitted to breaching Force Order 237, and faces fresh extortion allegations.

Context The Delta State Police Command confirmed on April 28, 2026 that ASP Nuhu Usman was taken into custody following the death of 28‑year‑old Oghenemine, known as OG Millan, in Effurun. The incident occurred on April 26, 2026 during an operation based on intelligence about a suspect allegedly carrying a Beretta pistol.

Key Facts - Police statements said the suspect, identified as Mene Ogidi, was seized while moving the firearm. A viral video, however, shows the victim restrained, pleading for his life, and offering cooperation. - Witnesses allege ASP Usman bound the victim’s hands and legs before firing. The police later acknowledged that Usman violated Force Order 237, which governs the permissible use of force, and other standard operating procedures. - In the video, the officer is heard telling the victim she should be grateful the encounter happened during daylight, adding that he would have killed her otherwise. - Commissioner of Police Yemi Oyeniyi condemned the act, transferred Usman to the Force Headquarters in Abuja, and announced disciplinary and criminal proceedings. - Additional accusations have emerged on social media. User @djParis claimed that in 2023 Usman extorted N50,000 during a traffic stop, threatened her life, and made degrading remarks about her body. She described being forced onto a police shuttle, hit with a gun, and warned that she would have been “wasted” if the incident occurred at night.

What It Means Usman’s arrest highlights systemic issues of police misconduct in Nigeria, particularly the misuse of force and alleged corruption. The breach of Force Order 237 may prompt a review of training and oversight mechanisms within the Delta State Police. Ongoing investigations into the extortion claim could expose a pattern of abuse, potentially leading to broader reforms or stricter accountability measures. Watch for the outcome of the disciplinary hearing in Abuja and any policy changes announced by the national police leadership.
