Tragedy in Enugu as Dangote truck crash claims lives of family members

A tragic accident involving a Dangote Group truck has claimed multiple lives, including members of the same family, in Enugu State.

Though full details are still emerging, eyewitnesses reported that at least two members of a family and others lost their lives in the collision. The exact number of casualties is yet to be confirmed by authorities.
