On September 4, 2026, a Delta State High Court remanded content creator Ifeanyi Ogbonna, known as Odogwu Asaba, to the Ogwashi-Uku Maximum Correctional Centre on charges of rape and the death of 20-year-old Favour Agbro. The court granted the remand after completing its investigations into the case. Ogbonna's legal counsel, Awele Ideal, announced the decision in a statement.
The autopsy and toxicology results, along with other evidence collected during the investigation, have been incorporated into the prosecution's report for the trial, which will be handled by the Ministry of Justice's Attorney-General and Director of Public Prosecutions. Favour had reportedly traveled to Asaba after being invited for a content creation training program advertised online.
She was allegedly taken to a hotel where Ogbonna raped and assaulted her. After returning home, Favour told her parents and recorded a video detailing the incident. Later, she ingested a toxic substance and died. The case gained public attention due to Favour's video and subsequent police investigation, which led to Ogbonna's arrest.
