UPDATE: Favour Case - Court Rejects Odogwu Asaba's Bail Application

According to the lawyer, Ogbonna's legal team had filed the bail application about three weeks ago, after which the legal representatives of Favour's family submitted a response challenging the request.

The application was argued before the court on Tuesday, with the judge delivering a ruling that rejected the request for bail.

Ogbonna remains at the Ogwashi-Uku Maximum Correctional Centre under a remand order issued September 4, 2026, following proceedings concerning allegations surrounding the alleged sexual assault and death of Favour Agbro. The case reportedly began after allegations that Favour travelled to Asaba following an invitation from the accused; the Delta State Police Command announced Ogbonna's arrest in July 2026.

Investigations included autopsy and toxicology examinations, with reports forwarded to the Delta State Ministry of Justice. Awele Ideal reaffirmed commitment to representing Favour's family pro bono. The allegations against Ogbonna remain allegations; he is presumed innocent unless proven guilty. Video: youtube.com/watch?v=53x02qbEPVU (DDM TV)
