An Indian national and two other suspects have been arrested after a viral video showed the alleged assault of two truck drivers in Ibadan, Oyo State.
The incident reportedly occurred at Karma Agric Feeds and Foods Limited, along the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
The arrests involve two company security operatives and an Indian national linked to the firm.
Police said the confrontation began with a disagreement over where a truck should park while delivering goods to the company on Saturday.
According to the truck owner, Akinpelu Sarafa, 47, the driver rejected a designated parking space.
He reportedly feared the spot could damage the truck’s tyres.
The driver was allegedly forced to use the space, after which one of the tyres reportedly developed a problem.
The disagreement later grew when the driver requested a replacement tyre, but the company allegedly refused.
The situation escalated after the driver reportedly used his truck to block the company’s entrance.
A physical confrontation then involved the drivers, security personnel and an Indian national.
The two injured drivers were identified as Ridwan Olajide, 34, and Taiwo Yinusa, 37. Both were taken to a hospital in the Academy area of Ibadan for treatment.
Police investigators visited the hospital and obtained statements from the victims as part of efforts to establish what happened.
The Oyo State Police Command identified the arrested suspects as Olowu Oluwadamilare and Sodeke Olamide, both security operatives attached to the company.
The third suspect is Harjit Singh, a 46-year-old Indian national associated with the firm.
Police spokesperson Olayinka said investigations were continuing to establish each suspect’s role and determine responsibility for the incident.
The case has been transferred to the Special Enquiry Bureau (SEB) in Eleyele, Ibadan, for further investigation and necessary action under the law.
