The Kwara State Police Command has successfully tracked and recovered a stolen motorcycle, leading to the arraignment of two suspects in an Upper Area Court in Ilorin.
The details were presented following the filing of a First Information Report (FIR) regarding the incident.
The motorcycle, a Bajaj with registration number KWARA-BDU 103 VC, was reported stolen around 7:45 PM from its owner, Paul Rotimi, who resides in the Basin Area of Ilorin.
According to the FIR, the assailants injured the rider on the head and forcefully took the motorcycle.
The case was subsequently reported by Olajesu Ibuanu, a resident of Babanla Street in Tanke, Ilorin, who expressed concern that a tracking device installed on the motorcycle indicated it had been taken out of Ilorin.
During the police investigation, officers located the stolen motorcycle at around 9:00 AM in Bida, Niger State, where the primary suspect, Balla Muhammed, was reportedly attempting to sell it to one Suleiman, who declined the purchase due to the absence of documentation for the motorcycle.
The charge sheet revealed that Balla Muhammed confessed to conspiring with one Usman Muhammed, who allegedly inflicted serious injuries on the rider with a hammer during the theft.
“They injured the rider on his head and forcefully dispossessed him of the motorcycle,” the FIR added.
“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.
Both suspects have been arraigned on charges of criminal conspiracy, causing grievous harm, and theft. Prosecutor Amotekun argued against granting bail for the accused, while Barrister Sharafadeen defended them.
Magistrate Abdullahi presided over the proceedings and ordered the remand of the accused, setting the next court date for November 11.
The swift action by the Kwara State Police Command in recovering the motorcycle underscores their commitment to addressing motorcycle theft and enhancing security in the region.
