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?”
It was reported that former Nigerian president Goodluck Jonathan has allegedly purchased a presidential candidate form for the 2027 elections.
It can be noted that Jonathan served as Nigeria’s president from 2010 to 2015.
This information was revealed by Sani Useni, a special assistant who made the claim. Many reacted to the news, with some expressing interest in seeing Jonathan return to power after staying relatively quiet politically since his administration ended.
However, Jonathan has not yet addressed the public or officially shared any presidential ambition.
The Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) has reacted to the recent abduction incident in Oyo State.
It can be recalled that schools were attacked by armed men, with some teachers and students reportedly taken. Some people were also killed during the attack.
CAN cried out on behalf of the public, stating “It is intolerable, disgraceful and utterly unacceptable that Nigerian children can no longer sit safely in classrooms without the fear of being kidnapped by armed gangs.”
The organisation also stated that Nigerians are tired of constantly mourning and questioning when something will finally be done to stop the violence.
The Governor of Oyo State, Seyi Makinde, has revealed that seven teachers were abducted following a recent attack on a school in the state.
It was also shared that the number of students taken is still being investigated.
The governor further revealed that some people were killed during the attack and abduction.
He also added “With the pressure on the terrorists and the bandits in the North-West, they will keep moving southward.”
“When you have pressure in one place, we must be prepared on this side to either repel or neutralise any terrorists fleeing the pressure points.”
