Apostle Johnson Suleman, the president of Omega Fire Ministries International, has criticized businessman, Aliko Dangote, following another fatal accident involving one of his trucks in Auchi on Sunday.
Dangote truck on Sunday suffered brake failure and rammed into a white Mercedes-Benz GLK along the Benin–Okene Expressway, right opposite the Omega Fire Ministries headquarters.
Eyewitnesses say the collision mangled the car, which was carrying four occupants, killing three instantly and leaving one critically injured.
“The force of the crash also pushed the Dangote truck into a head-on collision with a BUA truck approaching from the Benin axis. Moments later, the Dangote truck went up in flames, sparking panic as emergency responders battled to contain the fire,” an eyewitness recounted.
The deadly incident comes just days after another horrifying crash involving a Dangote truck in the same Auchi axis.
Speaking at the scene of the tragedy, Apostle Suleman accused Dangote of gross negligence in the management of his fleet, stressing that countless families have been thrown into grief due to the recurring crashes.
“Dangote, 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 a few minutes ago in Auchi.
“You give trucks to little boys who are high on drugs and untrained,” he said.
Apostle Suleman, visibly shaken by Sunday’s tragedy at his church frontage, insisted that such continuous loss of lives must not go unchallenged, calling on authorities to urgently hold the company accountable.
“This won’t go unchallenged,” he added.
