Apostle Johnson Suleman, the General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministries, has openly criticised Nigerian billionaire and industrialist, Aliko Dangote, over recurring fatal accidents linked to his company’s trucks.
The cleric’s condemnation followed a recent accident in Auchi, Edo State, involving a Dangote truck that claimed three lives.
Taking to Instagram, Suleman directly called out Dangote, accusing him of negligence in the management of his transport operations.
“@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 people a few minutes ago in Auchi. You give trucks to little boys who are high on drugs and untrained. This won’t go unchallenged,” he wrote.
The fiery criticism has drawn wider reactions, with popular social media activist VeryDarkMan also condemning the incident. He accused the Dangote Group of allowing unlicensed and untrained drivers to operate its trucks, describing it as a “recipe for disaster.”
He urged the government to take urgent regulatory measures, warning that states and communities might be forced to restrict Dangote trucks from their roads if no meaningful action is taken.
The outrage intensified after reports emerged that a Dangote truck was responsible for a crash in Auchi that left Ruth Otabor, younger sister of reality TV star Phyna, with a severely injured leg that had to be amputated.
Phyna accused the company of attempting to cover up the incident and vowed to pursue justice for her sister, calling for accountability and compensation.
The Dangote Group is yet to issue an official response to the growing backlash as pressure mounts on both the company and government authorities to act decisively on the safety concerns.
