Governor Sheriff Oborevwori of Delta has spoken out strongly against the shocking murder of a young man named Mena Otidi by a police officer, ASP Nuhu Usman. The governor, through his Chief Press Secretary, Sir Festus Ahon, called this act brutal and a serious violation of human rights.

Oborevwori expressed deep sadness over this tragic incident and extended heartfelt condolences to Mena’s family. He emphasized that no one should suffer such violence or lose their life in this way, stating that protecting lives is a top priority for his administration.

The governor praised the Inspector-General of Police, Olatunji Disu, and the Nigeria Police Force for their quick actions, including moving to dismiss and prosecute the officers involved.

However, Oborevwori insisted that all officers involved in this horrific act, as shown in a widely shared video, must be thoroughly investigated and held accountable. He stressed that justice needs to be served and seen by everyone.

The governor reassured Mena’s grieving family that the state government will fully support them and will keep a close watch on the case until it is resolved to its logical conclusion.
