The incident was confirmed in a statement issued by the command’s spokeswoman, Nafi’u Abubakar.

“On 25/11/2023 at approximately 1000HRS, there was a lone fatal motor vehicle accident along Koko/Jega road involving a Police Toyota Land Cruiser with REG. NO. 5465D,” he stated.

When the Inspector arrived at the NNPC area in Koko, one of the vehicle’s rear tires blew, causing it to tumble three times into the neighboring jungle.

The deceased was later buried in accordance with Islamic custom.
