Court remands popular content creator over alleged rape, death of 20-year-old Favour

A Delta State court has ordered the remand of content creator Ifeanyi Ogbonna, popularly known as Odogwu Asaba, over allegations of rape and the death of 20-year-old Favour Agbro.

The court granted the remand application on Friday, September 4, 2026, following the hearing of the application.

Awele Ideal, counsel to Favour’s family, disclosed the development in a social media post on Friday, stating that Ogbonna had been transferred to the Ogwashi-Uku Maximum Correctional Centre.

The remand order was issued shortly after the police investigation team received the autopsy and toxicology reports relating to the case.

“Today the 4/9/2026, the application to remand Mr Ifeanyi Ogbonna (Odogwu Asaba) was heard and granted by the Court. He has now been remanded at the Ogwashi Uku Maximum Correctional Center,” Ideal said.

She said the autopsy and toxicology results, together with other evidence gathered by investigators, were included in the investigation report prepared for prosecution and trial.

According to the lawyer, Ogbonna will be brought before the court as the case progresses, while the Ministry of Justice, through the Attorney-General and Director of Public Prosecutions, will handle the next stage of the prosecution.

Ideal said she would continue to represent Favour’s family and keep the public informed as the case progresses.
