Dangote Group

Dangote Group has refuted reports circulating on social media and on some online platforms linking it to a truck involved in a road accident in Akungba-Akoko, Akoko South-West Local Government Area of Ondo State.

The clarification comes after reports surfaced on Wednesday, that three persons lost their lives in a road crash in the university town of Akungba-Akoko.

The Sector Commander of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) in Ondo State, who confirmed the incident, revealed that the accident, which occurred around 7:30 p.m., involved a truck loaded with stone dust and a motorcycle. The truck was said to have lost control and rammed into a barricade in front of the university.

On the other hand, the Public Relations Officer of the Students’ Union Government of Adekunle Ajasin University, Mosadoluwa Ajidagba, told our correspondent that the accident was caused by an articulated vehicle.

He explained that the truck was coming from Ikare en route to Akungba when it suffered a brake failure and hit the permanent barricade erected at the university’s main gate.
