According to Daily Trust, the Kwara State Police Command has disclosed details of its operation that tracked a stolen motorcycle from Kwara State to Niger State, as presented in an Upper Area Court in Ilorin.

The First Information Report (FIR) from the command states that a Bajaj motorcycle, bearing the registration number KWARA-BDU 103 VC, was stolen around 7:45 pm from its owner, Paul Rotimi, who resides in the Basin Area of Ilorin.

“They injured the rider on his head and forcefully dispossessed him of the motorcycle,” the FIR added.

The case was reported by the owner, Olajesu Ibuanu of Babanla Street, Tanke, Ilorin.

Ibuanu further complained that the tracking device installed on the motorcycle showed it had been taken out of ilorin.

“During police investigations, the motorcycle was recovered from you Balla Muhammed (accused) at about 0900 hrs at Bida, Niger State while you were persuading one Suleiman to buy it but he declined interest as you could not produce any document of the motorcycle.

“You, Balla Muhammed confessed that you conspired with one Usman Muhammed, who actually hit the rider's head with a hammer, which inflicted serious injury on him,” the charge sheet added.

The accused were arraigned on criminal conspiracy, causing grievous hurt and theft.

Prosecutor Amotekun argued against his bail while Barrister Sharafadeen defended the accused.

In his ruling, Magistrate Abdullahi ordered the remand of the accused and adjourned the case to November 11.
