Apostle Johnson Suleman, the founder of Omega Fire Ministries International, has publicly called out Nigerian billionaire Aliko Dangote following yet another accident allegedly involving a Dangote truck.
The clergyman raised alarm after three persons were reportedly killed in Auchi, Edo State, just days after former Big Brother Naija winner Phyna accused the Dangote Group of negligence in a separate incident that left her sister amputated.
Suleman, in a post shared on social media on Sunday, accused the company of handing trucks to untrained and reckless drivers, often putting innocent lives at risk. According to him, the frequency of such accidents points to what he described as “recklessness in managing business operations” that has caused pain to many families.
He wrote:
“Your recklessness in managing your business has caused harm to families and made many parents childless. Your truck just killed three persons few minutes ago in Auchi. You give trucks to little boys who are high on drugs and untrained. This won’t go unchallenged.”

The fresh allegation comes in the wake of an ongoing public debate sparked by Phyna, who recently accused the Dangote Group of failing to take responsibility after one of its trucks hit her younger sister, Ruth, in Edo State. The reality star revealed that Ruth, who had just graduated from Auchi Polytechnic, was hospitalised and later had her leg amputated.
Phyna criticised the company for allegedly attempting to cover up the incident by removing the truck’s number plate. She maintained that her family deserved justice, insisting that “money cannot silence God’s judgment.”
The growing controversy has also attracted reactions from Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw, who urged authorities to ensure accountability, stressing that no company should be above the law.
In response to the backlash, Dangote Cement Plc released a statement confirming that its representatives and insurers had visited Ruth at Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital. The company assured the public that it would provide adequate medical care and compensation in line with its welfare policy.
The incidents have renewed public scrutiny over the safety practices of the Dangote Group’s logistics arm, which controls one of the largest truck fleets in Africa. Families of victims, however, are demanding not only compensation but a stronger commitment to driver training, safety regulation, and accountability to prevent further tragedies.
