Ethiopian authorities are investigating the murder of the country manager of Dangote Cement Plc, the manufacturer owned by Africa’s richest man, and two other staff. Unidentified gunmen shot dead Deep Kamra, his secretary and his driver on Wednesday, Tariku Alemayehu, deputy manager for sales and marketing in Ethiopia, said by phone. Dangote, owned by billionaire Nigerian Aliko Dangote, is Africa’s biggest cement producer with operations in 10 countries. When he slumped into the jeep, they went near and shot him multiple times. Tariku said Dangote had come to an agreement last year for youth to supply pumice to the company each month “according to capacity.”Kamra was an Indian national.
