An angry mob set a truck belonging to the Dangote Group ablaze after crushing two people to death on Friday evening along Dangote-Ibeshe road in Yewa North Local Government area of Ogun.

According to reports, the deceased were on a motorcycle, heading from Igbogila to Ilaro, when the incident happened. The driver of the truck narrowly escaped being lynched.





A source told newsmen that the driver of the Dangote truck swerved off his lane, having a head-on collision with the oncoming motorcycle, otherwise known as okada.

“The two men – rider and passenger, died on the spot,” the source said.

The Ogun Traffic Compliance and Enforcement Corps (TRACE) confirmed the incident on Saturday.

TRACE spokesman, Babatunde Akinbiyi, said :

“According to eyewitness accounts, the Dangote truck driver engaged in reckless driving. He left its lane to face the motorcyclist and the pillion passenger at his back in the other lane and crushed them to death.

“An angry mob later set the Dangote truck on fire while the driver ran away. The case is being handled by the Dangote Plant Police Post.”

Akinbiyi added that one of the dead victims’ bodies had been deposited at Ilaro General Hospital morgue, while the other victim had been buried by the family.
