Police reports indicate that on 17 September 2025 at around 3:00 p.m., Oladiti allegedly attacked a dispatch rider on Lagos Island, striking him with a helmet and bare fists.
The victim sustained life threatening injuries, was hospitalised, placed on oxygen, and continues to receive medical treatment.
A day later, on 18 September, a complaint was filed linking Oladiti to a separate violent incident that occurred on 28 August 2025.
In that case, he allegedly used a metallic ring to repeatedly strike a man on the head and face. The victim later died on 17 September, and his remains were deposited at a mortuary pending autopsy.
Lagos State Commissioner of Police CP Olohundare Jimoh, who visited the crime scene, assured the public that Oladiti is in custody and will be prosecuted once investigations are complete.
Police Public Relations Officer Abimbola Adebisi confirmed that Oladiti would be charged in court as soon as the investigative process is concluded.
