The Kwara State Police Command has denied shooting a motorcyclist in Ilorin, according to the supplied report. The command said the motorcyclist knocked down an officer during a stop-and-search operation. That account was offered in response to an allegation that police officers had shot the rider.
The available material does not include the motorcyclist’s version of events or provide details about whether anyone was injured. It also does not say whether the officer was treated, whether the motorcyclist was arrested or whether an inquiry into the incident has been opened. The report therefore records the police denial and the command’s explanation of what happened, without supplying further independent details.
