The Delta State Police Command has arrested popular content creator Ifeanyi Ogbonna, widely known as “Odogwu of Asaba,” over the alleged rape of a 20-year-old woman who later died.
According to a statement by the Police Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe, the victim travelled to Asaba on June 1, 2026, after Ogbonna allegedly invited her with a promise to train her in content creation.
Police said the suspect allegedly took the young woman to a hotel, where he raped and physically assaulted her. After returning home, she reportedly told her parents about the incident and later recorded a video describing her ordeal and emotional distress.
The police said the woman later died after ingesting a toxic substance.
Following a petition from the victim’s family, the Commissioner of Police, CP Yemi Oyeniyi, ordered an immediate investigation. Detectives from the Area Command in Effurun arrested Ogbonna, who has reportedly made useful statements while investigations continue.
