The Police Public Relations Officer, DSP Oluseyi Babaseyi, said the incident occurred around 7am on April 8, 2026, when the suspect boarded the victim’s motorcycle.

He said the suspect allegedly attacked the motorcyclist in an attempt to dispossess him of the motorcycle, leading to a struggle.

He added that the motorcycle and the knife used in the attack were recovered.

The case has been transferred to the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Eleweran, Abeokuta, for further investigation.
