A statement by Anthony Criminal, Group Chief Branding and Communicationd Officer (GCBCO), said the truck bearing the logo of Dangote Flour which was involved in the accident does not belong to Dangote Group.
Part of the statement read: “It should be noted that Olam International Ltd, makers of Crown Flour products, acquired Dangote Flour in 2019 in a widely publicized deal. The company now fully belongs to Olam.
“The loss of lives in this instance is regrettable and saddening. The public is advised to take note of this clarification.”
