Oyo Police Arrest Indian National, Two Security Operatives Over Assault Of Truck Drivers



The Oyo State Police Command O arrested two security operatives and an Indian national over the alleged assault of two truck drivers at Karma Agric Feeds and Foods Limited along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.

The arrests followed a viral video showing the drivers being assaulted at the company’s premises around Kilometre 12 of the expressway in Ibadan, after Lagos Reporters reported the incident and brought it to public attention.

Police spokesperson, DSP Ayanlade Olayinka, said the command began investigating after receiving information about the video. The Commissioner of Police, Abimbola Ayodeji Olugbenga, subsequently directed detectives to identify and arrest those involved.

The incident reportedly began after a truck driver objected to a designated parking space over concerns that it could damage his vehicle’s tyres. One tyre allegedly burst after he was compelled to park there.

The disagreement escalated when the company reportedly refused his request for a replacement tyre, prompting the driver to block the company’s entrance with his truck before a physical confrontation occurred.

The injured drivers, identified as Ridwan Olajide, 34, and Taiwo Yinusa, 37, were taken to a hospital in the Academy area of Ibadan for treatment.

The arrested suspects are Olowu Oluwadamilare and Sodeke Olamide, security operatives attached to the company, and Harjit Singh, 46, an Indian national associated with the firm.

The police said the case had been transferred to the Special Enquiry Bureau in Eleyele, Ibadan, for further investigation, adding that anyone found culpable would face the law.

PRESS RELEASE

OYO POLICE ARREST THREE SUSPECTS OVER VIRAL VIDEO OF ASSAULT ON TRUCK DRIVERS AT KARMA AGRIC

The Oyo State Police Command has arrested three suspects in connection with a viral video showing the alleged assault of two truck drivers at Karma Agric Feeds and Foods Limited, located at Kilometer 12, Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Ibadan. The suspects comprise two security operatives attached to the company and an Indian national.

The Command’s attention was drawn to the video on Tuesday, 13th October 2026, at about 0830 hours, prompting the Commissioner of Police, Oyo State Command, CP Abimbola Ayodeji Olugbenga, psc, mnips, to direct detectives to identify and apprehend all persons involved for investigation.

Preliminary findings indicate that the confrontation stemmed from a disagreement over the parking of a truck that had delivered goods to the company on Saturday. According to the truck owner, Akinpelu Sarafa, male, aged 47, the driver objected to a designated parking spot over concerns that it could damage the truck’s tyres. However, he was reportedly compelled to park there, and one of the tyres subsequently burst.

The disagreement reportedly intensified when the driver requested a replacement tyre, but the company declined. In response, the driver allegedly used his truck to block the company’s entrance, triggering a physical confrontation involving the drivers, security operatives and an Indian national.

The two victims have been identified as Ridwan Olajide, male, aged 34, and Taiwo Yinusa, male, aged 37. Both were admitted to a hospital in the Academy area of Ibadan for medical attention. As part of efforts to establish the facts, the Investigating Police Officer visited them at the hospital and obtained their statements.

Following the police intervention, three suspects were arrested: Olowu Oluwadamilare and Sodeke Olamide, both male security operatives attached to the company, and Harjit Singh, an Indian national, male, aged 46, associated with the company. Investigations are ongoing to establish their respective roles in the incident and determine the culpability of all parties involved.

The case has been transferred to the Special Enquiry Bureau (SEB), Eleyele, Ibadan, for further investigation and necessary action in accordance with the law.

The Oyo State Police Command reiterates its commitment to protecting lives and property and ensuring that the law applies equally to all individuals and organisations. Members of the public are urged to remain calm and allow the investigation to proceed, as anyone found culpable will be dealt with in accordance with the law.

Nigerians assaulting fellow country man on the orders of a foreigner.

Shameful is an understatement.

Good one from the police, but make una make una investigations and final results public oh!!! Just as you no, una with orishirishi na like bread and butter.

For what the Police has done.. I am super proud to be a Nigerian.

And let those 2 Nigerians go to jail for beating their fellow Nigerians for a foreigner.

The Indian should be deported.

I don't know why he is not in handcuffs

Justice delivered! Good riddance! Serves them right!

The Nigerians involved in this nonsense should be jailed.

I'm seeing a woman among the suspects. The Indian will bail himself and go Scot free but you see those security guards? Dem go smell their nyash.

He will be out in no time!

Where is that Caucasian that murdered his Nigerian wife right inside Nigeria? The rest is history!

Dude will right now be enjoying coffee somewhere around the world.

Na the mopol and army guys that escort them worst pass. They can kill a fellow citizen on the order of a dirty foreign. Look at how this one is looking..

It's Nigeria.. the company will give dpo money and the case will be settled out of station. If them give the driver 200k him sef go withdraw case..

nice one but i hardly trust news now days

they might have release them before the news was published

I will not be surprised when the Indian will be released and the two Nigerians sent to jail

They look so Ugly even with the blurred Faces😒

I typed a comment on the matter but Nairaland deleted it. So much for our opinions not reflecting the views of the forum. Mscheew.

That security woman no dey among. Na 2 security men with 5 agbero and this sikhist man wey dey use baton dey beat the driver. The other Indians actually were neutral as seen in the video.

Good. Send him back to his country to go and enjoy his shity streets foods.

The Indian arranged yorubas to beat their fellow yorubas but its igbos that want to take over their land.

Shame on those security guys.. they were helping to pin the driver down while the Indian man was hitting him with a stick..

Ask yourself.. if it were in their country, would an Indian man hold down his fellow Indian for a Nigerian man to assault, no matter the provocation. This is not to defend whatever the driver might have done, but your roles their should be to de-escalate the situation by restraining all party.. not doing eye service for the Indian boss.

The Indian guy go don dick that female security wetin no good with there koropan that look like 7yrs old child.

All parties should seek path of peaceful resolution of the matter tho.

I guess your own papa would give them their daily bread if they refused to obey.
