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 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, an Evangelist with the Davidical Order Ministry.

He prided himself as one who discovered, developed, exposed, empowers, and evangelise musicians, actors, and artists to be relevant in their different churches with his non-denominational outreach for the entertainment industry.
