Dangote staff goes to jail

Dangote Group has revealed that it has sentenced to prison one of its drivers’ over involvements in unethical/illegal activities.

the company’s Chief Communications Officer, Anthony Chiejina disclosed the staff member’s prosecution in a statement.

Recall that the company has been accused severally of not taking reports against its drivers seriously.

The criticisms and incidents, some caught on camera by citizens, forced the company to take tougher measures.

Chiejina noted that the Drivers Patrol Team nabbed some for engaging in unapproved acts and transferred them to government agencies for trial.

In a recent case in the North-Central region, a driver who used his truck to carry timber was caught and handed over to the police.

The spokesman said he was subsequently charged to a Magistrate Court in Akwanga, Nasarawa, for criminal breach of trust.

The convict was sentenced to four months jail term after he pleaded guilty.

The magistrate ordered the release of the truck and advised the company to file a civil case against the goods’ owner
