The Delta State Police Command has confirmed the killing of a Police Inspector, identified as O. O. Ojonogba, by suspected gunmen in Ughelli, Ughelli North Local Council of Delta State. Inspector Ojonogba, popularly known as “Ade,” was attached to the Chairman of Bomadi Local Council, Dagidi Andaye. He was reportedly murdered in his sleep by unknown assailants who gained access to the chairman’s residence while the chairman was away on official duties in Asaba. Sources told that the gunmen broke into the compound around 3:00–4:00 a.m. through the generator powerhouse, which was running at the time. Once inside, they went directly to the room of Inspector Ojonogba, who was attached to Police Mobile Force (PMF) 51. He was shot in the neck at close range and died instantly. The attackers then forced their way into the main house by destroying a burglar protector and entering through the dining section. They reportedly made their way to the children’s room, where they demanded valuables, including money and their mother’s jewellery. According to sources, the gunmen fired shots into the ceiling and walls to frighten the children before carting away several mobile phones, two iPads, and a laptop. “The robbers returned again, possibly in search of more gadgets, but left when they couldn’t find any more items,” a source familiar with the incident said. The children, though unharmed physically, were left traumatised. The lifeless body of Inspector Ojonogba was discovered shortly after the incident.
