It was alleged that a group of angry youths in the area beat up the occupants of the truck, set the vehicle ablaze and carted away with some bags of cement before the arrival of the police.
The police public relations officer of Kwara command, DSP Olufemi Fabode, confirmed the incident and said some youths had been arrested with about 100 bags of cement. He condemned that action of the youths and urged residents of the state to refrain from jungle justice and allow vehicle inspection officers do their jobs.
