In reaction the Police spokesman, Bright Edafe has faulted the video circulating the social media space.
In his words: All for clout chasing i guess. Does this guy look like someone shot???
In the entire video did u see any blood either in his body or on the ground? Abi him no dey use blood?
For the record, this guy was not shot and he drove his bike away from the scene by himself.
I use God beg una, fake news and unnecessary tension won’t do any of us good
