The Delta State Police Command has arrested popular content creator Ifeanyi Ogbonna, widely known as “Odogwu of Asaba,” for the alleged rape of 20-year-old nursing student Favour Agbro from Ughelli North LGA.
Agbro tragically died by suicide after the incident.
On June 1, 2026, Agbro traveled to Asaba after Ogbonna invited her for content creation training and social media monetisation tips, which he promoted online. Police alleged he took her to a hotel, raped her despite her pleas and subjected her to physical violence.
Distraught, she returned home, confided in her parents, and recorded a heartbreaking video recounting the assault and her trauma before ingesting poison. She died despite medical intervention.
