Protests Erupt After Oyo Police Kill Man Days After Delta Execution
Protests broke out on May 2 in Oyo State after a police stop-and-search operation ended with a man shot dead. Human rights activists say the officers tried to extort money from 32-year-old Yehuza Umar before opening fire. The Oyo State Police Command has yet to comment on the allegations. This incident follows the April 26 killing of 28-year-old Mene Ogidi in Effurun, Delta State, captured on video as he sat with hands tied behind his back. Delta State authorities have dismissed and arrested ASP Nuhu Usman after the footage sparked outrage. The Inspector-General of Police condemned the act as “criminal and unprofessional” and confirmed a disciplinary tribunal is underway.
