VDM Angrily Calls Out Dangote After Another Truck Accident in Edo Claims Three Lives
Social activist Martins Otse, better known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has once again taken aim at billionaire businessman Aliko Dangote after a deadly truck accident in Edo State claimed three lives.
The crash happened along the busy Auchi–Benin highway on Sunday, near Omega Fire Ministry. According to reports, a Dangote cement truck suffered a brake failure and rammed into three other vehicles, including a Mercedes-Benz GLK. Two men and a woman were killed instantly, while one other person was injured. The Federal Road Safety Corps confirmed the accident and listed mechanical failure as the cause.
Reacting to the incident, VDM released a heated video where he blasted Dangote and his company, accusing them of failing to properly regulate and monitor their drivers. He argued that many of the drivers operating Dangote trucks do not have valid licenses and described the repeated crashes involving the company’s vehicles as an avoidable tragedy.
Visibly furious, VDM said he had arrived in Benin to take action and threatened to mobilize support to stop Dangote trucks from passing through parts of Edo, especially Auchi, unless something is done to curb the accidents. He also used harsh words against Dangote, holding him personally responsible for the lives lost.
His comments, however, stirred debate online. While many Nigerians agreed that the Dangote Group should be held accountable, others felt VDM went too far. One social media user questioned his approach, asking, “Is Dangote the one driving the trucks?”
An update has been shared on the burnt building at Balogun Market on Lagos Island, as it was revealed that a man was rescued 11 days after the building caught fire.
According to reports, the man was found alive on January 6, 2026, after being discovered under the rubble of the collapsed structure.
The survivor has since been taken for proper medical care, while further details are yet to be released.
Meanwhile, passersby and market traders have expressed concern, fearing that more people may still be trapped alive inside the building.
It has been reported that Anthony Joshua has officially been discharged from the hospital following the terrible car crash that claimed the lives of his two closest friends and supporters.
The boxing star was deemed stable enough to go home after the accident. After his discharge, he visited the funeral to pay his respects and see the bodies of his two friends.
Many have expressed grief and offered their support to the boxing star, praying that he will be able to find peace, as grief will undoubtedly be one of the most painful challenges he will face in life.
It has been shared that the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) is calling on the federal government to suspend the tax law set to take effect on January 1, 2026.
This was revealed in a statement released by Ini Ememobong, National Publicity Secretary of the PDP. He stated that this new law shows how Nigerians and the masses will be affected, arguing that the government is prioritizing finance over security and other pressing matters.
“Rather than address these issues comprehensively, the Presidency has consciously minimized them and instead insisted that the commencement date must stand, despite the discrepancies,” the party said, adding that this “clearly shows where the priority of the government lies between Nigerians and money.”
