Tragedy struck along the Abeokuta–Sagamu Expressway in Ogun State as a police inspector, Afolabi Adeola, lost his life after being crushed by a speeding truck at a security checkpoint near the Judiciary Complex in Abeokuta.
The incident, which occurred around 12:30 p.m. on Sunday, involved a fully loaded truck reportedly carrying about 900 bags of cement. Witnesses said the truck was approaching the checkpoint at high speed when it crashed into a stationary truck that had stopped in compliance with police checks, before subsequently ramming into Inspector Adeola, who was on official duty.
