Meanwhile, in another development, Nollywood actress Yvonne Jegede has spoken out following the viral video of the killing of 28-year-old Mene Ogidi in Delta State. The incident, which has sparked nationwide outrage, shows Ogidi handcuffed and pleading for his life before being shot by a police officer. Jegede expressed her anger on Instagram, condemning the Nigerian Police Force for what she described as repeated acts of brutality. She linked the incident to the aftermath of the 2020 #EndSARS protests, questioning the justice system’s ability to protect citizens. Her post read, “Why didn’t anyone try to stop him? Why aren’t these overzealous uniformed thieves going after bandits? This is too much,” highlighting her frustration with the lack of accountability.
The Delta State Police Command has responded, stating that Ogidi was arrested based on intelligence for allegedly transporting a Beretta pistol and four rounds of ammunition. ASP Nuhu Usman, the officer who led the operation, has since been arrested, questioned, and transferred to Force Headquarters in Abuja for disciplinary action and possible prosecution. The case continues to draw national attention, raising urgent questions about police conduct and reform in Nigeria. As investigations proceed, the incident remains a stark reminder of the need for transparency and justice in law enforcement. The public’s demand for accountability continues to grow, with celebrities and citizens alike calling for meaningful change.
