In 2012, the Nollywood actor was arrested for allegedly killing his wife in Abuja, Federal Capital Territory.

According to reports, Oganiru was arrested following a petition by the family and relations of his wife who claimed he poisoned her.

Oganiru maintained his innocence, stating he never killed his wealthy wife. The controversy saw the actor’s career on a decline despite claiming innocence.

Oganiru, before his death, held the role of Corporate Marketing Consultant to the Abuja Chapter of AGN.

Our condolence to his family and the Actors Guild of Nigeria (AGN).
