Dangote Industries Limited (DIL) has issued a strong warning to truck drivers and transport operators against the unauthorized use of its logo on vehicles not affiliated with the company. Eyes Of Lagos reports,

According to the management, despite repeated warnings in the past, some independent truckers still brand their vehicles with the Dangote logo without approval. The company noted that this unlawful practice not only causes reputational damage but also misleads the public, especially when such trucks are involved in accidents or criminal activities mistakenly linked to Dangote.

In a recent statement, the company said:

“We have repeatedly cautioned truckers to refrain from using our logo on unauthorized vehicles. Moving forward, we will increase vigilance and take decisive legal action against misuse of our brand identity, particularly concerning vehicles unaffiliated with the Dangote Group.”

Crackdown on Fake Dangote Trucks

Dangote further revealed that it will intensify monitoring in partnership with law enforcement agencies to curb the trend. Offenders risk facing legal prosecution for brand identity misuse and misrepresentation.

The company also urged members of the public and the media to verify facts before circulating reports linking road incidents to Dangote trucks, as many of the vehicles involved are not part of its official fleet.
