Tragedy struck on Sunday in Auchi, Edo State, when three people lost their lives in a crash involving two trucks and a Mercedes Benz GLK in front of Omega Fire Ministry, led by Apostle Johnson Suleman.
Eyewitness footage taken shortly after church service showed chaos at the scene, with several vehicles damaged. A voice in the video alleged that a Dangote Cement truck rammed into multiple cars.
The victims, all occupants of the GLK, were rushed to the hospital but confirmed dead. The Dangote truck reportedly caught fire before it was extinguished.
Reacting to the incident, Apostle Suleman described the deaths as “avoidable,” blaming the tragedy on the recklessness of poorly trained and overworked truck drivers.

“These boys who drive should be called to order. Many are not trained, overworked, and some even drive under the influence,” he said. “Organisations should assess the drivers they put on the roads. Three lives were just lost because of carelessness. These deaths are a mess that could have been prevented.”
While acknowledging the role of government in fixing roads, Suleman stressed that corporate organisations and citizens must also take responsibility for safety.
Confirming the crash, Edo State Police spokesman Moses Yamu said the accident involved a Dangote truck, another unidentified truck, and the Benz. “The three occupants of the Benz were evacuated to the hospital, where they were confirmed dead. The Dangote truck caught fire, but it was brought under control,” he said, adding that investigations were ongoing.
