According to him, the corpse of the commercial motorcyclist had been deposited at Ifo General Hospital.
The commercial motorcyclist and two others were involved in the crash, but that the other two victims did not sustain any injury.
Akeem regretted that other motorcyclist had completely blocked the road.
He further said that several appeals to allow cranes to access the crash scene proved abortive.
