Dangote Truck Rams Into Vehicle, Crushes Entire Family, Others In Enugu

A Dangote truck has crushed a family and three other individuals at Four Corner along the Enugu-Port Harcourt Expressway in Nkanu West Local Government Area of Enugu State.

Eyewitnesses described the scene as horrific, with a video showing a vehicle completely crushed by the trailer.

"A family were said to have been in the vehicle, with eyewitnesses disclosing that none of them came out alive," a witness stated.

This tragedy comes just a week after a Dangote truck allegedly caused the death of Ruth Otabor, the younger sister of Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Phyna, after crushing her legs over the weekend.

Previously, SaharaReporters reported that the Dangote Group has expressed sorrow over the passing of Ruth Otabor, who was critically injured in a road accident involving one of the company’s trucks in Auchi, Edo State.

Ruth was the sister of Josephine Otabor, Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, popularly known as Phyna.

In a statement released on Sunday, August 31, 2025, the company said it had made arrangements to fly Ruth to India for advanced medical treatment, pending clearance from her doctors.

The group said that since the accident, its officials and insurance partners had been providing full medical and financial support to Ruth and assisting her family.

“On behalf of the entire Dangote Group, we extend our heartfelt condolences to her family, friends, and loved ones at this difficult time,” the company’s statement said.

“Since the accident, our officials and insurance partners have been by her side, covering all financial and medical costs and supporting her family.

“Arrangements had been made for her to be flown to India for advanced treatment, pending medical clearance from her doctors. Sadly, despite these efforts and Ruth's brave fight to live, we lost her today.”

The Dangote Group emphasised that safety, accountability, and compassion remain central to its operations and reiterated its commitment to strengthening safety systems and supporting those affected in times of tragedy.

“May God grant her mercy and eternal rest,” the statement concluded.

Federal government should let dangote pay for all these things his doing with people's lives.

Brendaniel:
May their souls rest in peace, I think they need to make these trucks move only at night

nwirinedu:
I ask again what is the road safety and Vio doing about trucks in the country? Tankers, Trucks and other heavy vehicles are allowed to move freely without safety checks, they kill road users and damage roads all over the country, yet it's only private vehicles that these people only check and exploit.

They should use trains henceforth.
