I lost two sons to police brutality— Musician OG Millan’s mother

A deeply distressing account has emerged from Delta State, Nigeria, where the mother of musician Oghenemine Ogidi, known as OG Millan, has made a harrowing claim: she has lost two sons to alleged police brutality. This tragic revelation surfaced during a condolence visit by Harrison Gwamnishu, a former Senior Special Assistant to the Delta State Governor, and his team.

“

We met with Oghenemine’s mother, and her story is heartbreaking. She revealed that both of her sons were killed by the police.

The grieving mother tearfully recounted her ordeal, revealing that her first son was taken from their home in 2022 and subsequently killed. The official police narrative of an "exchange of gunfire" has been met with skepticism, raising serious questions about the circumstances surrounding his death. Now, with the recent killing of OG Millan, she finds herself enduring unimaginable pain for a second time under similar alleged circumstances.

The first was arrested from his home in 2022 and later killed. The police claimed he died in an exchange of gunfire but that version of events has been questioned.

This latest allegation comes at a time of heightened public scrutiny and outrage over police conduct in Nigeria. The story of OG Millan's death, reportedly at the hands of a police officer in Effurun, Delta State, has amplified calls for accountability and justice. The mother's profound grief serves as a stark reminder of the devastating impact of police brutality on families and communities, underscoring the urgent need for reforms and genuine accountability within law enforcement.

Now, Oghenemine Ogidi has become the second son she has lost under similar circumstances. No mother should have to endure this kind of pain twice. This is why accountability matters.
