H#t-and-run driver k#lls a police officer at a checkpoint in Ondo State

A h#t-and-r¥n driver kn%cked down a yet-to-be-identified senior officer with the Nigeria Police Force, Ondo State Command, on Ifon express road in Ose Local Government Area of the state, on Sunday.

According to Daily Trust,  the officer was on stop-and-check duty before he was k#lled.

The driver of the vehicle was said to have fled the scene immediately after the acc#d£nt occurred.

The Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO) in Ondo state, Funmilayo Odunlami-Omisanya, confirmed the incident in a brief chat with newsmen in Akure, the state capital.

Odunlami-Omisanya said the deceased, an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP), was trying to stop the suspected vehicle when the driver swerved off the road and h#t him.

“The incident occurred when the police were trying to stop him (the driver), but he didn’t stop because his vehicle was suspected.

So, our officers were alerted on the highway but on getting to a particular place around Ifon, the driver swerved and h#tan ASP and the officer di£d immediately. The driver was, however, pursued and fortunately for us he (driver) was arrested by the military men at Sobe in Edo State,” the PPRO stated.
