In his words:
“@AlikoDangote you are not the only rich man on earth. Your recklessness in managing your business has caused harm to families and made many parents childless. Your truck just killed 3 persons few minutes ago in Auchi. You give trucks to little boys who are high on drugs and untrained. This won’t go unchallenged.”
The incident has sparked widespread reactions in Edo State, with many residents calling for stricter regulations on the operation of heavy-duty trucks.
As of press time, the Dangote Group is yet to release an official statement regarding the fatal accident.
