VDM Calls Out Dangote Group Over Another Tragic Truck Accident
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.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
