Akinbiyi said, “According to an eyewitness, the motorcycle rider rode dangerously as he was trying to overtake a truck on the same lane.
“As he tried to maneuver at a pothole, a passerby suddenly crossed the road, and while trying to avoid hitting him and at the same time avoiding a big pothole, ran across the truck which immediately ran over him.
“Incidentally, two pillion riders at the back of the motorcycle escaped being hit as they jumped, sustaining various degrees of injury. They were rescued to the state hospital, Ota.
“The dead pillion rider was taken to the morgue of the Ifo General Hospital.”
