The Enugu State Police Command has confirmed that the truck involved in last week’s deadly accident along the Enugu–Port Harcourt Expressway does not belong to Dangote Industries Limited (DIL) but to Visco Investment Global Limited, a third-party operator.
Police said two separate crashes occurred on 3 September 2025 along the Ozalla/4-Corner axis, leaving 10 people dead and 10 others hospitalised.
The first crash, around 9 a.m., involved a Howo truck carrying cement and branded with Visco Investment Global, a Toyota Corolla, a Foton bus, and a Daihatsu Hijet mini bus. The collision caused the truck and Corolla to catch fire, killing five occupants of the car, while one passenger in the mini bus also died.
A second crash later that day, around 3 p.m., involved a Sino truck belonging to Global Investment and a tricycle. The truck, also carrying cement, struck the tricycle, killing all four occupants. Ten other victims from both crashes are receiving treatment in hospital.
Commissioner of Police CP Mamman Bitrus Giwa described the accidents as “avoidable,” ordered a full investigation, and urged motorists to prioritise road safety, especially during the high-risk Ember Months.
Following widespread reports linking the incident to Dangote Group, the company clarified that the truck was not part of its fleet. “Investigations have revealed that the truck belongs to Visco Investment Global Limited,” Dangote Industries said, adding that it is working with relevant agencies to determine why the vehicle carried its logo without authorisation.
The Group expressed concern over “the increasing spread of misinformation” linking it to such incidents without evidence, urging the public and media to avoid circulating unverified claims. Dangote Industries also pledged to strengthen measures against unauthorised use of its brand and to cooperate fully with investigators, reiterating its commitment to corporate responsibility, safety, and integrity.
