Human rights activist and founder of Behind Bars Human Rights and Safe City Volunteer Foundation, Harrison Gwamnishu, has confirmed that the Delta State Command of the Nigeria Police Force has invited him for questioning over allegations of attempted murder, incitement to terrorism, and obstruction of justice.
According to an invitation letter dated June 1, Gwamnishu is expected to appear before the Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) in charge of the Criminal Investigation Department through the Officer-in-Charge of Homicide at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Asaba on June 4.
Reacting in a Facebook post on Monday, Gwamnishu expressed surprise at the allegations contained in the letter.
“I returned from court for Oghenemine’s case and the Nigeria Police Force, Delta State Command, sent me Happy New Letter,” he wrote, adding that the invitation referenced “case of attempted murder, incitement to engage in terrorism.”
He also alleged that the command had been targeting him.
“I wish to inform everyone that Delta State Police Command have nothing on me and they have been planning massively against me,” he stated.
In a separate video shared online—recorded before he received the invitation—he said he had been alerted by several individuals about alleged attempts to implicate him in criminal activities.
Gwamnishu maintained that he has no involvement in any criminal conduct, insisting that his work focuses on exposing alleged abuses and supporting efforts to address insecurity in Delta State.
He said his recent comments on the case of Oghenemine Ogidi, also known as Mene Ogidi, were meant to raise concerns about police conduct.
“I only posted Oghenemine’s case for public awareness to end police brutality. That when a suspect is arrested, you don’t kill a suspect,” he said.
He further defended his social media activism on kidnapping and insecurity cases, stressing that he is not interfering with police duties.
“I am not taking the work of the police or the military. I am only assisting,” he added.
Gwamnishu also alleged that there is an ongoing plan to implicate him and appealed to Delta State Governor Sheriff Oborevwori to intervene.
“There is a plan on grounds against me,” he said.
As of the time of filing this report, the Nigeria Police Force had not issued an official statement clarifying the allegations or the activist’s alleged connection to the case.
Similarly, the Delta State Police Command has not publicly detailed the basis of the invitation.
Gwamnishu is expected to appear before investigators in Asaba on Thursday.
