Two Officers Arraigned in Obodo Shooting | Nigeria News

Two police officers face court over the fatal August 27, 2026 shooting of 22-year-old Anthony Obodo — both were dismissed before arraignment. The magistrate ordered them held and referred the case for reassignment, with a hearing set for September 22. Outside court, the Port Harcourt Bar Association raised concerns about only two officers being brought in, but the Police Commissioner clarified that a third officer’s dismissal requires ratification by the Police Service Commission — expected to be expedited to just one week. A fourth officer, who allegedly fled, has been declared a deserter. The Bar vows to monitor the case closely to ensure justice.
