The police command in Kwara has arrested a 36-year-old medical doctor, Abass Adeyemi, over the alleged killing of four people.
The police said that compliance with the temporary ban helped stop criminals from taking advantage of the fuel and naira scarcity.
The Commissioner of Police in Kwara has ordered aggressive patrols of banks and other financial facilities across the state.
This was contained in a statement issued by the command spokesman, Ajayi Okasanmi, on Sunday in Ilorin.
The affected officers, before being redeployed to allow for investigation, were said to have been attached to Anti-cultist and Anti-cybercrime units.
The accident involved a fully loaded commercial bus headed to Katsina from Lagos and an articulated vehicle loaded with cement.
The victim said the criminals had earlier swindled her of N3,000 in cash and a gold earring valued at N50,000.
