The Command’s Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Mrs Folasade Odoro, confirmed the arrest to newsmen in Osogbo on Monday.
The driver of the car, however, escaped arrest.
It was gathered that a police team sighted the vehicle with registration number Ondo XF 467 NND at Sekona junction in Ede, around 1a.m. on Monday.
