Controversial social commentator and activist, VeryDarkMan, has taken to social media to call out the Dangote Group over the alleged abandonment of a young accident victim hospitalized in Edo State. According to his post, the victim, a 22-year-old girl, was crushed by a reckless, unlicensed Dangote truck driver while heading out for her school project in Auchi.
The young woman, whose identity is yet to be disclosed, has been admitted to Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital for over 11 months. VeryDarkMan disclosed that her medical bills have accumulated to more than 5 million naira, yet no financial or emotional support has come from the Dangote Group.
In his post, he tagged Dangote Group and Aliko Dangote directly, stating that their failure to take responsibility for the girl’s suffering is unacceptable. He accused the company of ignoring the consequences of their operations and neglecting victims of accidents involving their fleet of unlicensed truck drivers.
As of now, there has been no official response from the Dangote Group regarding the incident or the allegations raised. Calls for justice and support for the hospitalized victim continue to grow louder on social media.
The case serves as yet another reminder of the ongoing concerns over road safety, corporate responsibility, and the value of human life in Nigeria. Advocacy groups and citizens alike are now demanding a comprehensive response, not only from the Dangote Group but from relevant regulatory bodies as well.
[8/18, 13:30] ChatGPT: VeryDarkMan warned that if the issue is not addressed swiftly, they will not allow any Dangote truck to operate in Auchi. “Let the world know,” he wrote, “we will not be allowing any Dangote truck today in Auchi if all victims are not properly taken care of.”
He emphasized that the intent is not to incite violence or confrontation but to demand accountability from a company that commands so much influence and wealth in Nigeria and across Africa. “We can’t fight you,” he said, addressing Dangote. “You are the richest man in Africa, you command security agencies. We are only telling you to take responsibility.”
The activist further appealed to public sympathies by reminding Nigerians that this could happen to anyone’s daughter or sister. He stressed that large corporations must operate with human sensitivity and should not abandon individuals harmed by their activities.
This revelation has sparked heated discussions online, with many users expressing outrage over the neglect and questioning the Dangote Group’s safety protocols for drivers and their level of accountability to the public.
