Justice for Mene Ogidi: How Far Has Officer Ogbegbe’s Trial Come?

Nigeria moves too quickly from one tragedy to the next. Young musician Oghenemine “Mene” Ogidi was shot at close range by a police officer in April 2026. That officer, former ASP Usman Nuhu, known as Ogbegbe, now faces a murder charge in Delta State High Court. In June 2026, Ogbegbe and four dismissed officers pleaded not guilty. Their trial is set to begin on July 14. Yet public outrage has already begun to fade, even as Mene’s family waits for answers and fair proceedings. It is vital that journalists, civil society and Nigerians keep asking: Will the process stay transparent? Will witnesses be protected? Will there be no undue delays? Justice for Mene Ogidi requires sustained scrutiny, not a brief headline. We must not let another case slip away. Follow the trial, demand clear updates and ensure that impunity does not win.
