The incident, which occurred on Sunday, was confirmed in a statement on Tuesday by the command’s Public Relations Officer, SP Bright Edafe.
According to the police, Ogidi was apprehended after intelligence suggested he was attempting to “waybill” a parcel containing a Beretta pistol and four rounds of live ammunition.
While operatives were taking the suspect into custody, the lead officer allegedly discharged his firearm in clear violation of Force Order 237 and standard operating procedures, resulting in Ogidi’s death.
The Command has appealed for public calm, assuring that internal disciplinary measures and legal actions are underway to ensure justice is served.
