Sources said the driver made the attempt last Friday night but was foiled by security operatives after they saw someone cutting off protectors in the account office.
The source said the driver escaped but was identified by the security men who later apprehended him.
It was learnt the suspect was being questioned at the Aideyan Police Station in Benin.
The source said: ”Policemen were going on routine duty and noticed somebody attempting to break into the account office and foiled the attempt.
“I am very proud of my men. A discreet investigation will be carried out to ascertain whether the driver acted alone or in concert with others.”
When contacted, Edo State Police Command spokesman, DSP Stephen Onwuchei, confirmed “there was a report of such nature” which is “at investigation level”.
He added that “the Commissioner of Police has ordered the State Criminal Investigation Department (CID) to take over the investigation.
“As I speak with you, the DC State CID should be in Government House to visit the scene of crime,” Onwuchei said.
