The Ondo State Police Command said it has arrested a driver who crushed a policeman to death at a checkpoint along the Benin-Owo Expressway at the Ifon area of Ose Local Government Area of the state on Sunday.

According to the police, the driver whose identity was yet to be revealed allegedly hit the cop who is an Assistant Superintendent of Police, and was arrested by the men of the Nigeria Army at Sobe in Edo State.

The command denied an earlier report that the cop was killed by some suspected kidnappers on the expressway.

The state Police Public Relations Officer, Mrs. Funmilayo Odunlami, who confirmed the death of the police officer, declared that it was a case of hit and run, not kidnapping.
