The Dangote group said its attention has been drawn to some online media reports that a truck conveying petroleum product, which was involved in a fatal crash that claimed several lives, belongs to Dangote Flour.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

According to a statement, the truck bearing the logo of Dangote Flour was said to have been involved in an accident in Ogun State.<\/p>\n

The statement reads further:<\/p>\n

However, contrary to a report by the Federal Road Safety Commission, the said truck does not belong to the Dangote Group.<\/p>\n

It should be noted that Olam International Ltd, makers of Crown Flour products, acquired Dangote Flour in 2019 in a widely publicized deal. The company now fully belongs to Olam.<\/p>\n

The loss of lives in this instance is regrettable and saddening. The public is advised to take note of this clarification.<\/p>

No fewer than 17 persons lost their lives in a head-on collision involving a Mazda bus and a petroleum tanker at about 5.00 am today Friday, 18th Feb 2022, before Isara bridge, on the Lagos-Ibadan expressway.<\/p>\n

In a statement by the Public Education Sector Officer of the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), Commander Florence Okpe said route violation was the suspected cause of the accident.<\/p>\n

She noted that the head-on collision resulted in a fire outbreak, adding that three bodies have been identified while others burnt beyond recognition.<\/p>\n

The FRSC officer said the vehicles were partially obstructing the service lane, while adding that the command could not really be ascertained which of the vehicles was at fault, saying that the bus was coming from Lagos while the tanker was coming from Ibadan.<\/p>\n

Okpe added that only one male, one female and one female child could only be identified out of the deceased.<\/p>\n
