The Story of Mene Ogidi: A Search for Justice in Delta State.

On April 26, 2026, the life of 28-year-old Oghenemine "Mene" Ogidi—an aspiring singer and plumber—came to a tragic and violent end. What started as a routine delivery of a waybill package in Effurun, Delta State, quickly spiraled into a confrontation with the Nigerian Police Force that would shock the nation.

Captured in a harrowing viral video, Mene was seen restrained and pleading for his life before being extrajudicially killed at point-blank range. While police initially alleged the package contained a Beretta pistol, Mene’s final moments were defined by his desperate claims of innocence.

In this episode of Deep Stories and Archives, we piece together the timeline of that fateful day, the investigation by the Force Headquarters, and the subsequent dismissal and prosecution of ASP Nuhu Usman and four other officers.
