How he dealt with Alhaji Usman Dantata, His Benefactor?!

If there is anybody that will continue to regret his kind gesture to uplift his nephew from the grip of poverty, it will be no other person than Alhaji Usman Dantata, Aliko Dangote's uncle who gave him N100,000 then for him to travel to South-West to come and try his luck in business.

In a twist of fate, rather for Aliko Dangote who came to Lagos by train to reciprocate Usmans kind gesture, he instead opted to deal a heavy blow to the man who helped him to be what he is today.

If you don't know, Usman Dantata is currently bedridden ailment. Dangote, rather than help him to recover from the ailment, dealt him what sources say is the "knell that may aid Dantata's death". he had wanted to purchase one of Dantata's properties in Apapa, "Polo House" without success before the man took ill.

He seized the opportunity of his uncles sickness and his influence in government circle to revoke the Certificate of Occupancy of the property and took over the title. That was two years ago.
