The story continues Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has called out the Dangote Group over the treatment of her sister who was recently involved in a tragic accident with a Dangote truck. The heartbreaking incident happened in Auchi, Edo State, just days after Phyna’s younger sister graduated from Auchi Polytechnic.
According to Phyna, her sister, Ruth Otabor, was hit by a Dangote truck and sustained life-threatening injuries. One of her legs was amputated from the pelvis, while her other leg, hand, and head remain in critical condition. Sharing her pain with fans and the general public, the reality TV star expressed frustration that despite reaching out to Dangote’s representatives through different channels, including WhatsApp, she has not received satisfactory responses regarding her sister’s urgent medical needs.
Phyna insisted that her sister requires immediate overseas treatment, particularly in India, stressing that her current condition is too critical to be handled locally. The BBNaija star accused the company of ignoring her pleas while her family continues to watch her sister battle for her life.
The Dangote Group has since released an official statement, acknowledging the accident and promising to cover all medical expenses, provide compensation, and ensure adequate welfare for the victim. They confirmed that officials and insurance representatives visited both the accident site and the hospital in Edo State. However, Phyna maintains that action has been slow, and her family needs urgent intervention to save her sister’s life.
The tragic situation has sparked outrage online, with many Nigerians calling on Dangote to take immediate responsibility and fly Ruth abroad for treatment. Fans of Phyna have also flooded social media with prayers, messages of support, and demands for justice.
As the story continues to trend, all eyes remain on Dangote Group to see whether they will fulfill their promise of support and grant Phyna’s request for her sister’s evacuation.
