Phyna, former BBNaija winner, has lost her sister, Ruth Otabor, who died on August 31, 2025, after being hit by a Dangote truck in a tragic accident on August 13 near Auchi Polytechnic, Edo State. Ruth’s leg was crushed and amputated, and despite medical efforts, she passed away.
The Otabor family announced her death via a legal statement and requested privacy as they grieve. Meanwhile, the Dangote Group stated they had offered full medical and financial support, including plans to fly Ruth abroad for further treatment—though Phyna publicly accused them of backing out of that promise.
Confusion also arose when a photo of Phyna in a hospital bed circulated online; a filmmaker later clarified it was from a movie set and not real.
Funeral arrangements for Ruth will be announced by the family in due course.lost her sister, Ruth Otabor, who died on August 31, 2025, after being hit by a Dangote truck in a tragic accident on August 13 near Auchi Polytechnic, Edo State.
