Dangote Group has dismissed claims linking one of the trucks in its fleet to a road accident in Akungba-Akoko, Ondo state.

At least eight people were killed on Wednesday after a truck rammed into some shops near Adekunle Ajasin University in Ondo.

In a statement on Thursday, the group clarified that the vehicle, with registration number JJJ 365 XB, is not part of its fleet or any of its subsidiaries.

The company said verified vehicle records showed that the truck belongs to an independent logistics firm and was carrying crushed stones in reused sacks bearing various brand names.

Dangote Group said all its trucks are distinctly branded, tracked, and operated by trained personnel under strict safety protocols.

The company urged the public and media to verify facts before associating Dangote with incidents it is not involved in.

It also implored media outlets to avoid using images of Dangote-branded trucks in unrelated accident reports.

“Dangote Industries maintains a strict policy on fleet management and vehicle identification, ensuring that all its trucks are properly branded, tracked, and operated by trained personnel under rigorous safety and compliance standards,” the statement reads.

“For clarity, all genuine Dangote trucks carry distinct company markings and fleet numbers, making them easily identifiable.

“While the company deeply sympathises with all those affected by the incident, it urges members of the public and the media to verify information before attributing ownership or involvement to Dangote Group.”
