The Senior Pastor of Omega Fire Ministry (OFM), Apostle Johnson Suleman, has joined forces with social critic Martins Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), to raise concerns over the recurring truck accidents in Auchi.
This comes after a tragic incident on Sunday afternoon where three people lost their lives when a Dangote cement truck rammed into them near OFM headquarters. The heartbreaking scene has once again thrown residents of Auchi into mourning.
Viral videos on social media captured Apostle Suleman and VDM meeting on top of a pedestrian bridge close to the accident site. While the details of their discussion were not made public, both men appeared to be deliberating on the incident as onlookers watched.
Sunday’s accident follows closely on the heels of another tragedy involving a Dangote truck that killed Ruth Otabor, the younger sister of BBNaija Season 7 winner, Phyna. Ruth had been crushed just six days after her graduation from Auchi Polytechnic, sparking outrage in the community.
In response, VDM and residents of Auchi have already staged protests, demanding that Dangote trucks be restricted from passing through the town to prevent further bloodshed. The joint concern by Apostle Suleman and VDM now adds more weight to the growing call for urgent government intervention.
