A police officer has unalived a commercial motorcyclist identified as Yehuza Umar in Oyo State.
The event took place on Saturday along the Iseyin-Oyo road near the Niko area.
Reports indicate that officers on an illegal stop and search operation tried to extort money from the rider, who belongs to the Hausa community.
A confrontation followed and the man lost his life.
Members of the Hausa community gathered in large numbers at the hospital where he was taken, seeking answers from the authorities.
This development comes shortly after another case in Delta State.
There, officers took the life of 28-year-old Mene Ogidi during an operation in Effurun.
Video footage showed the man restrained before the incident occurred.
Police have since moved the officer involved to Abuja for further investigation.
Many Nigerians have expressed deep concern over these repeated events.
Some fear the situations could lead to wider unrest if not addressed quickly.
Community leaders and residents continue to call for proper investigation and measures to prevent similar cases in future.
Authorities in Oyo State have begun looking into the latest matter, while the Hausa community awaits updates on what exactly happened during the stop.
