Social media activist Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), on Monday led a protest in Auchi, Edo State, blocking Dangote trucks from operating in the area until the company takes responsibility for accident victims.

VDM, joined by students of Auchi Polytechnic, demanded justice for Ruth Otabor, the younger sister of BBNaija winner Phyna, who recently had her leg amputated after being crushed by a Dangote truck shortly after her graduation. Addressing the crowd, he insisted that the company must not only pay Ruth’s medical bills but also compensate other victims of similar incidents.

The protest followed another tragic crash in Auchi a day earlier, where three people lost their lives near Omega Fire Ministry after a Dangote truck collided with another vehicle and rammed into a Mercedes Benz GLK.
Reacting to the accident, Apostle Johnson Suleman, General Overseer of Omega Fire Ministry, condemned the reckless driving, describing the deaths as “an avoidable loss of lives.”
