He said body of deceased officer has since been evacuated from the scene and rushed to the Murtala Muhammad Specialist Hospital.

The Managing Director of the Agency, Baffa Danagundi, said we are bereaved and sad over the unfortunate incident and as well condole with the family members of the late officer.

Danagundi, however, warned the general public to desist from such act as the law would catch up with anyone who engages in committing such crime.

Luck, however, ran out for the driver, as colleagues and other people around the scene of the incident succeeded in preventing the driver from escaping, as he was arrested and handed over to the police in the area for further investigation.
