The Management of Dangote Industries Limited (DIL) has, in a quick riposte, denied the involvement of the company’s trailer in a recent Enugu accident.
The denial came even as the identity of the owner of the trailer that crushed an entire family has emerged.
Subsequent information and sundry media reports have confirmed that the truck involved in the fatal accident belongs to Visco Investment Global Limited, a third-party operator.
“We are actively engaging with the appropriate agencies to determine why the truck in question was bearing our logo, despite not being part of our fleet.
“Moving forward, increased scrutiny will be applied to the unauthorised use of our brand identity, particularly the misuse of our logo on vehicles not affiliated with the Group.

“We remain committed to cooperating fully with the relevant authorities and urge that those tasked with investigating incidents of this nature be allowed to carry out their responsibilities without undue interference.
“We categorically reject any attempt to exploit such tragedies for malicious or financial gain.
“The Dangote Group remains steadfast in upholding the highest standards of corporate responsibility, safety, and integrity in all our operations,” Dangote Industries Limited management said..
