The Commissioner of Police in Edo State, Mohammed DanMalam , who confirmed the incident, said he immediately ordered the transfer of the suspect to the state command headquarters in Benin when he learnt of it.

DanMallam gave the assurance that justice would be served in the murder of the driver as nobody was above the law.
