Dangote Industries Limited (DIL) has clarified that the truck involved in a fatal accident in Enugu does not belong to the company but to Visco Investment Global Limited, a third-party operator.
Earlier reports circulating online alleged that a truck from the Dangote Group collided with vehicles in the state on Wednesday, resulting in multiple casualties.
In a statement issued the same day, DIL distanced itself from the vehicle, stressing that it was not part of its fleet.

“We are actively engaging with the appropriate agencies to determine why the truck in question was bearing our logo, despite not being part of our fleet,” the company said.
DIL further assured that it will step up measures to prevent unauthorized use of its brand identity. “Particularly the misuse of our logo on vehicles not affiliated with the group,” it added.
The company also condemned the spread of unverified claims, saying: “While it is our policy not to comment publicly on individual cases, we are compelled to address the increasing spread of misinformation by attributing such incidents to the Dangote Group without any substantiated evidence.”
It urged the public and media to desist from circulating false reports. “We remain committed to cooperating fully with the relevant authorities and urge that those tasked with investigating incidents of this nature be allowed to carry out their responsibilities without undue interference.”
Rejecting what it described as attempts to exploit the tragedy, the firm stated: “We reject any attempt to exploit such tragedies for malicious or financial gain.”
DIL reaffirmed its commitment to upholding corporate responsibility, safety, and integrity in all its operations.
