Social commentator Martins Otse, better known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has once again dragged the Dangote Group into the spotlight after yet another accident involving one of the company’s trucks. This time, the victim is a 22-year-old graduate, Precious Olurotimi, who had her hand amputated after a crash that has now sparked anger and calls for justice online.

VDM, in a strongly worded video, accused the company of turning a blind eye to the reckless behavior of its drivers. According to him, Precious, a fresh graduate of FUNAAB, had her dreams cut short because of negligence. He alleged that representatives of Dangote Group once visited her after the incident, took photos, and never returned to follow up or offer real help.

This new revelation comes only weeks after another heartbreaking case, one that involved the younger sister of reality TV star Phyna. She was also hit by a Dangote truck, a crash that led to the amputation of one leg and placed the other at serious risk. That incident generated massive public outrage, with celebrities like Kate Henshaw and VDM himself demanding justice for the victim and accountability from the company.

For many Nigerians, these repeated stories have become too familiar.

Dangote trucks have gained a reputation for accidents on highways, with critics accusing the company of putting untrained or overworked drivers behind the wheel. Social media users flooded VDM’s page with comments, some expressing heartbreak over Precious’s situation and others pointing to a long pattern of similar tragedies.

One user wrote, “Dangote trucks and accidents are like twins.” Another added, “This happens to many people, but only those who get loud enough manage to find justice.”

The growing outrage has put fresh pressure on Dangote Group to respond more responsibly, not just with words but with actions. Beyond calls for compensation, Nigerians are asking whether the company will finally confront what many see as a culture of recklessness among its drivers.
