The Delta State Police Command has arrested Asaba-based content creator Ifeanyi Ogbonna, widely known online as "Odogwu Asaba", over allegations that he physically and sexually violated a 20-year-old woman who later took her own life.

According to a press release issued by the Command on July 15, 2026, the incident began on June 1, 2026, when the young woman travelled to Asaba after responding to what appeared to be a legitimate offer.

40-year-old Odogwu Asaba had reportedly advertised a content creation training programme across his social media platforms, and the victim accepted his invitation to participate.

Upon her arrival, police allege that Ogbonna took her to a hotel where he violated and physically attacked her.

According to the statement, the 20-year-old woman later made her way back home visibly shaken and recounted the full details of what had happened to her family.

Victim recorded her ordeal before her death

The statement said that in the days that followed, the young woman made a video recording in which she described the incident and the emotional anguish she had been carrying since returning home.

She subsequently ingested a toxic substance and, despite efforts by those around her to save her life, she did not survive.

Her family thereafter submitted a petition to the Delta State Police Command, prompting the Commissioner of Police, CP Yemi Oyeniyi, to direct the Area Command Effurun to open an immediate investigation.

Operatives moved quickly and arrested Ogbonna shortly afterwards. He reportedly made statements to investigators during preliminary questioning, and the inquiry is continuing.

CP Oyeniyi assured the deceased's family and the general public that the investigation would be handled with thoroughness and professionalism, and that every aspect of the allegations would be examined.

He confirmed that appropriate legal action would follow in line with the law.

The police statement was signed by SP Bright Edafe, Police Public Relations Officer for the Delta State Command.
