Ruth had just celebrated her graduation six days prior to the incident, which was caused by a Dangote truck operated by an underage driver.
After widespread online reactions, the Dangote Group released an official statement, confirming that a representative had visited Ruth, extended their well-wishes, and offered compensation.

“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.”

@ariennah1:”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.”
