- According to VDM, if the accident had been caused by an ordinary citizen, legal action would have been swift.
- However, he claims Dangote’s status places him beyond the reach of the judiciary, the government, and even the police.
Nigerian activist Verydarkman (VDM) has claimed that Africa’s richest man, Aliko Dangote, will likely face no legal consequences over a recent accident that left BBNaija star Phyna’s sister, Ruth Otabor, critically injured.
The incident, which occurred at Auchi Polytechnic in Edo State, involved a Dangote Group truck that allegedly hit Ruth and a commercial bike rider, leaving Ruth with one leg amputated and the other at risk, while the rider remains in critical condition.
Phyna accused the company and police of neglecting the victims’ welfare. In a new video, VDM said Dangote’s influence makes justice unlikely but urged him to take moral responsibility and compensate the victims.
According to VDM, if the accident had been caused by an ordinary citizen, legal action would have been swift. However, he claims Dangote’s status places him beyond the reach of the judiciary, the government, and even the police.
“Neither the government, the judiciary, nor the executive can challenge Dangote, and even the police can’t act against him. We can’t take him to court — the only option is to plead with him to assist the victims,” VDM said during a TikTok Live session.
