An online video purportedly showing an Indian national assaulting two Nigerian truck drivers has sparked widespread outrage. Reports indicate that the Indian national operates a business situated along the Lagos-Ibadan expressway. The truck drivers are said to have driven their vehicles onto his premises. In the footage, staff members working for the Indian national are seen asking the drivers for the keys to their trucks. The drivers refused, maintaining that they are the owners of the vehicles and would not surrender the keys to anyone. Amid the confrontation, the Indian man was filmed striking one of the drivers with a stick while kicking the other, who was being restrained on the ground by staff.
