Following several online cries, the Dangote Group issued an official statement, stating that a representative had visited Ruth, offering compensation and wishing her a speedy recovery.
Their response triggered reactions from many online users, including Tacha, who stated that the Dangote Group needs to start paying heavily in compensations.
She pointed out that such incidents do not happen in developed countries, where there are repercussions for such behaviour.
Tacha said:
“It’s high time the Dangote group starts paying heavily for the recklessness of their drivers. They ought to pay $10 million in compensation to Ruth even though it won’t bring back her leg.”

“Has any of dangote’s truck drivers chased you before just because you over took them without horning? Story of my life experience with them 2015 and it left me traumatized and i developed ptsd to the point that whenever i see or notice dangote truck i ask the driver of any vehicle am in to park let them pass or take another road to wherever am going. They are heartless especially when you meet them on highs.”
Phyna calls out Dangote over truck accident
According to a previous report, Phyna called out billionaire Aliko Dangote and the Dangote Group for mishandling a gruesome accident involving their truck and her sister.
She claimed the company focused on concealing evidence rather than catering for her family, alleging they ordered the truck’s plate number to be removed.
Phyna demanded justice, warning that the truck and driver must remain in custody, and vowed further action if attempts were made to release them.
