A source said a commercial motorcyclist was allegedly hit on the road by the jeep and was said to have died instantly while the jeep swerved off the road.
A source said, “The DIG was in Lagos and he sent his ‘boys’ to go and bring the jeep from Akure but the vehicle had an accident on the way to Lagos.”
