They were arraigned before Senior Magistrate A.0. Ayilara on 9th August 2025, facing three-count charges of obstruction of public highway, conspiracy, and breach of public peace. 

The State Sector Command of the Federal Road Safety Corps in a statement released by its Sector Commander, Leye Adegboyega announced the arrest, saying it is due to an incident of attempted mob action on one of its patrol teams that occurred on Saturday 9th August.

The said patrol team, detailed along Osogbo-Sekona route and stationed near the main gate of the Government Secretariat, Abere, sighted a mini truck whose driver was not on seatbelt as required by law, they flagged down the vehicle, and appropriately issued a FRSC Notice of Offence ticket for the violation and the driver’s licence of the driver was confiscated pending payment for the fine into the Government Treasury Single Account.

According to the statement, the offender, however, refused to collect the ticket and instead, being a member of the Allied Truck Transport Association of Nigeria, ATTAN, mobilized his union members to the scene, blocking the road, causing serious obstruction and disrupting public peace, while preventing the team from carrying on with its lawful duty. 

Following the barrage of provocative utterances and threats, three of the culprits were eventually arrested by the Police and the case was formally documented at the Nigeria Police Force, Ataoja Division, Osogbo, for further investigation.

The arrested transport union members, Olatunde Abioye, Abdul-lateef Raheem and Abdullazeez Mudasiru, have been granted bail in the sum of one million naira each in like sum and sureties with reasonable means within the jurisdiction of the Court.

The case was adjourned to 25 September 2025 for trial.
