Tragedy struck Wednesday morning in Enugu as a yet-to-be-ascertained number of family members and others were killed by a truck belonging to the Dangote Group.
The incident occurred at Four Corner, along Enugu-Port-Harcourt expressway, in Nkanu West Local Government Area of the state.
Although the details are still sketchy as an eyewitness told THE WHISTLER that “family members up to two and others were killed. We don’t know how many people yet but some people were killed and others injured.”
A trending video seen by this outlet displayed the accident scene. The onlookers were heard lamenting the loss, and also calling on the management of Dangote to adopt measures to curb the rate their vehicles were getting involved in road mishaps.
Meanwhile, commentators have taken to their social media handles to condemn the incident.
Enuguloudspeaker @Jamessurce2 wrote, “Dangote trailer has done it again; this time, it claimed an entire family’s lives in Enugu s State.
“Something needs to be done about these constant accidents by Dangote drivers. May their souls rest in peace.”
Another commentator @unstudentz wrote, “Dangote truck reportedly crúshed several people to de@th this afternoon at Four Corner, Enugu State.”
Recall that a trailer belonging to Dangote had some weeks ago crushed the two legs of a young lady, Ruth Otabor, leading to her death over the weekend.
The deceased was a younger sister of Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Phyna. The driver of the truck reportedly had no driver’s licence.
