The Ondo State Police Command on 19th of December, 2024 received a report that Police officers on routine patrol along the Ore highway axis around Kajola were involved in a fatal motor accident.
The unfortunate incident happened when a DAF truck heading towards Lagos lost control, veered off its lane, crossed the median barrier and collided with the police vehicle traveling inward Ore.
Sadly, three officers lost their lives in the crash, while one of the officers who sustained injuries is recuperating in the hospital .
Additionally, a woman( now late) who was attending to personal errands on the highway was also a victim during the accident.
The command is disappointed at mushroom writers over their circulation of false narratives that the passerby involved in the accident was a suspect arrested by the Policemen.
The command appeals for sensitivity and accuracy when reporting incidents of this nature and not writing falsehood that disrespects the memory of the deceased and also deepens the pain of their grieving families.
