At the point of asking his vehicle plate number an argument ensued and the next thing we heard was gunshot and we saw him in his pool of blood.”It was learnt that immediately the incident happened, the policemen fled the scene, sensing danger as motorists mobilized for an attack on them.Said Ogodo: “The team made up of six policemen attached to the police patrol vehicle along Ore/Benin route have been arrested and as I speak to you now they are detained at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID) in Akure.”He also confirmed that the corpse of the felled truck driver has been deposited in the mortuary pending the outcome of the command’s investigation into the killing which, he said, will be made known to the public.  He assured that the killer cops will face the law if found culpable.The Inspector General of Police, MD Abubakar, had dismantled road blocks and checkpoints upon his appointment but motorists and road users said that corrupt policemen have gradually reinstated the extortion checkpoints in the last few months along Nigerian dangerous highways.
