BBNaija Star Phyna Cries Out as Sister Loses Leg in Dangote Truck Accident

 

The Nigerian entertainment world has been thrown into shock after the younger sister of Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Phyna, was involved in a tragic accident with a Dangote truck in Edo State.

Just a few days after graduating from Auchi Polytechnic, Phyna’s sister, Ruth Otabor, was hit by a heavy-duty Dangote truck near the school’s vicinity. Eyewitnesses said the truck ran over her leg before help could arrive.

The aftermath has been devastating. According to Phyna:

 

Ruth’s entire leg was amputated from the pelvic region.

Her other leg is at risk of being lost.

She also sustained serious head and hand injuries.

In an emotional post, Phyna wrote that her family’s joy has turned into sorrow: “Her whole leg is gone. My sister just graduated and this is what she faces.”

Phyna accused Dangote’s team of allegedly trying to cover up the case by tampering with the truck’s details and focusing on protecting the driver instead of her sister’s condition.

 

This sparked massive reactions online.

Actress Kate Henshaw condemned the alleged cover-up.

Activist VeryDarkMan vowed justice would not be swept under the carpet.

Fans stormed social media with hashtags like #JusticeForRuth and #DangoteMustAnswer.

The tragic story quickly went viral, with Nigerians demanding accountability.

With pressure mounting, the Dangote Group released an official statement. The company confirmed that its senior officials and insurance team had:

Visited the crash site.

Met with Ruth’s family at Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital.

Promised comprehensive medical care and compensation.

In their words: “Her welfare is our priority, and we will ensure she receives all necessary care and support.”

While many applauded Dangote Group’s quick response, others expressed doubts, insisting that Nigerians had seen similar cases where promises were made but not fulfilled.

For now, the public is keeping a close eye on the situation to see if the company will truly stand by its word and support Ruth through her recovery.

This is more than just celebrity gist—it is a painful reminder of the dangers of heavy-duty trucks on Nigerian roads and the urgent need for corporate accountability.

Our thoughts are with Phyna and her family during this difficult time. Nigerians are watching closely, and justice must not be denied.
