The central defender, who has been an ever-present member of the Gaziantepspor team since he joined them from Mjallby in the summer, was shown a red card in the 64th minute of the game which ended 2-2.
Gaziantepspor also pays the wages of ex-Rosenborg star John Chibuike.
The visitors somehow snatched a draw from the jaws of defeat and, on the balance of play in the final 20 minutes, they absolutely deserved to.
Gaziantepspor dominated the game for large periods and had every right to win the game by three or four goals. They slacked off, however, and allowed the away team get a point.
In the 12th minute, Yakup Alkan was given time to deliver the opener for Tuzlaspor as he silenced the hosts.
Eleven minutes later Arokoyo earned his first yellow card of the match.
Gaziantepspor, though, were not behind for long as they finally broke Tuzlaspor courtesy of Ibrahim Akin seventeen minutes to the end of the first half.
The first half ended one-all at the Kamil Ocak Stadyumu.
Six minutes after restart, Gaziantepspor went straight down the other end to take the lead for the first time in the game.
Ogulcan Caglayan found enough space to send his effort past Emre Aydin in goal for the visitors.
Chances were at a premium after the break with the quality in the final third lacking from both sides.
In the 64th minute, Arokoyo was given the marching orders for a second bookable offence.
Tuzlaspor continued to push for an equaliser and almost got one after the dismissal of the former Kwara United defender.
The numerical advantage appeared to add a disappointing day for Okan Buruk's men in the final twenty minutes.
However, seventeen minutes to the end of the match, Mehmet Alaeddinoglu Wallace placed his penalty-kick perfectly to beat goalkeeper Bora Sevim and secured a point.
The result ensures that Gaziantepspor stays 2nd with 5 points from 3 matches, two points behind leaders Tuzlaspor.
