Dangote the Africa richest man is doing some fraudulent things that needs to be sanctions. How could useless and devilish people used his trailer to convey imported poultry products. FG should sanction his company on this crime.

DANGOTE? Its not possible, If its true, One of these 3 things must have happened:
1. its either he has refused to them carry out one nefarious act on their enemies or
2. they are targeting an enemy but started with Dangote so that when they grab the enemy people will be citing example that after all they arrested dangote who is their brother last time. Nobody will know they had released him long ago.
3. An overzealous officer who did not do proper consultation before making it available to the press

I am beginning to understand how APC plans their deceit. Trust me

This is a good thing in Nigeria, and this tells much of how Dangote's wealth grows on a daily basis.
