The management of Dangote Industries Limited (DIL) says the truck involved in an accident in Enugu belongs to Visco Investment Global Limited, a third-party operator.
Online reports had claimed that a truck belonging to Dangote Group on Wednesday collided with vehicles and killed a number of persons in the state.
In a statement on Wednesday, the DIL denied owning the ill-fated truck.
“We are actively engaging with the appropriate agencies to determine why the truck in question was bearing our logo, despite not being part of our fleet,” the statement reads.
Going forward, the company said increased scrutiny will be applied to the unauthorised use of its brand identity, “particularly the misuse of our logo on vehicles not affiliated with the group”.
“While it is our policy not to comment publicly on individual cases, we are compelled to address the increasing spread of misinformation by attributing such incidents to the Dangote Group without any substantiated evidence,” the DIL said.
“We urge the public and media to refrain from circulating unverified claims.
“We remain committed to cooperating fully with the relevant authorities and urge that those tasked with investigating incidents of this nature be allowed to carry out their responsibilities without undue interference.”
The firm rejected “any attempt to exploit such tragedies for malicious or financial gain”.
The company also reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining the highest standards of corporate responsibility, safety, and integrity across all its operations.
