The police in Ondo State on Thursday said it had arrested an officer of the Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps in connection with the killing of two persons in Akure, Ondo State.

The suspect, who was identified as Ifeoluwa, was alleged to have hit one of the deceased, Lasisi Yakubu, with his car in an accident which occurred on Tuesday. Yakubu died some hours after the accident.

The death of Yakubu reportedly caused a protest during which a woman was allegedly shot dead by a yet-to-be-identified NSCDC man.

The Public Relations Officer of the state police command, Mr Femi Joseph, said the suspect had been cooperating with the police.

“The NSCDC officer is with us,” he added.

Also, the state NSCDC spokesman, Mr Oladapo Samuel, in a statement on Thursday, insisted that no officer of the corps was involved in the killings.

He said, “It was not an official vehicle of the command that was involved in the said accident. Also, no officer of the corps was involved in the shooting of any civilian.”
