BREAKING: Dangote Truck Reportedly Crushes Two Passenger Buses in Enugu, Multiple Casualties Rushed to Hospital

Panic erupted in Enugu this evening after a Dangote truck reportedly lost control and rammed into two passenger buses along the Ituku Ozalla Old UNTH route, leaving multiple people critically injured.

Eyewitnesses described the scene as “chaotic and bloody,” with shattered glass and mangled vehicles scattered across the busy stretch of road.

Emergency responders and bystanders rushed to pull survivors from the wreckage, with many victims immediately transported to the University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital (UNTH) emergency unit. While the exact number of casualties remains unclear at the time of filing this report, hospital officials confirmed that several patients are battling life-threatening injuries.

The incident, which comes amid ongoing national debates over road safety and corporate accountability, has once again placed Dangote trucks under public scrutiny. Just months ago, a similar case in Edo State involving a Dangote truck led to public outrage after it severely injured Ruth Otabor, the sister of Big Brother Naija star Phyna, sparking demands for compensation and stricter regulation of heavy-duty vehicles on Nigerian highways.

Residents of Enugu have since taken to social media to express anger and fear, calling on both the Enugu State Government and the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) to enforce stricter safety checks on haulage trucks. “How many more lives must be lost before something is done about these trucks?” one enraged witness wrote online.

As investigations begin into the Enugu crash, questions are being raised about driver fatigue, poor vehicle maintenance, and the lack of dedicated haulage lanes across Nigeria’s major roads. With the Dangote Group already facing heightened public backlash, today’s tragedy is likely to intensify calls for sweeping reforms in the nation’s transport sector.

For now, families are gathered at UNTH, praying their loved ones survive what has become yet another dark reminder of Nigeria’s growing road safety crisis.
