Dangote Cement Reacts to Benue Truck Crash That Claimed Several Lives

Dangote Group, owners of Dangote Cement, has denied reports alleging that one of its trucks was involved in a fatal accident that claimed several lives along the Wannune-Gboko Road in Tarka Local Government Area of Benue State.
The company’s spokesperson, Anthony Chiejina, made the clarification in an interview with Newsmen on Monday.
This follows earlier reports that a truck laden with Dangote cement had rammed into a Toyota Sienna vehicle on Sunday evening, resulting in multiple fatalities.
Reacting to the claims, Chiejina stated unequivocally that the incident did not involve a truck belonging to the Dangote Group.
“The fact that a truck carried Dangote does not mean that it belongs to Dangote. It is for our distributors. We have searched our inventory, and there are no such trucks,” he told newsmen.
As of the time of filing this report, an official statement debunking the claim had yet to be released by the company.
ASIWAJU MEDIA notes that this incident comes in the wake of previous accidents across the country involving trucks carrying Dangote cement.
