“The allegation is false and a complete misrepresentation of the facts.

“The fact is that on May 8, at about 6.05 a.m., the police at Ago Okota Police Station heard a loud sound few metres away from the station and rushed out to ascertain what was going on.

“They found a motorcyclist laying down in the pool of his own blood with his motorcycle on the ground. The victim was taken to the hospital but eventually died.
