BBNaija winner Phyna has finally spoken out following the burial of her younger sister, Ruth Otabor, who died weeks after being hit by a Dangote truck in Auchi, Edo State
In a livestream, Phyna described the events surrounding her sister’s accident and accused the Dangote Group of negligence, manipulation, and insensitivity.
She recalled how quickly the company secured the release of the truck and driver involved. “You see that girl, I really wanted her to have the best. If accidents can happen, it could have been anyhow, it could have been any other way, but it is what happened and how it’s been handled. My sister’s accident was August 11. August 13, Dangote Group went to Sabo Police Station, bailed the 19-year-old license-less driver and the truck. That was my only problem, because what are you trying to do?”
She alleged that compensation discussions were insulting and failed to reflect her sister’s worth. “Five billionaires… house, car, and a personal nurse for life. Then I now said a vagina reconstruction surgery for Ruth — you know there was no vagina anymore. If I calculate wetin my sister don chop from baby class to Auchi Poly where she finished, wetin be 20 million naira? Why would I be asking? Who made that negotiation? When I found out 20 million, I was so pissed.”
Phyna went further to question the medical treatment her sister received, suggesting that the delays might not have been accidental. “Do you think if we don’t pay, they will let my sister live? With the way this thing is doing, my mind is telling me that something happened. My mind is telling me Dangote Groups and Company told Lagoon to inject my sister, because they know how much they will spend if they fly that girl out. Help me explain that six days.”
She also expressed frustration over the financial burden on her family after Ruth’s death. “Removing my sister from the mortuary, I had to now pay hundreds of thousands. Before I paid, I was stubborn. I said, ‘Shey Dangote don send money? Make una send money from Dangote, make we comot the girl.’ Dangote now started whining me that day. They sent my mother a chat, they sent my father a letter — my father wey no go school. This is where they take person for a fool.”
Phyna accused the Dangote Group of focusing on protecting its public image instead of justice. “We realized Dangote groups are spending heavily on PR. The truth about me is, I’m so small, but you can’t fight me. You get money o, but you will feel it. As long as I have a pure heart, as long as I’ve not done nothing to you, and as long as whatever you do pain me, bro, you will feel am.”
She concluded her remarks with a warning, vowing not to be silenced. “Dangote, I don’t do online ranting. I will say what I want to do. Before they burn like 15 of your trailers, you go carry me. You will carry me. Because all of them are blind now, they’re not seeing what’s happening — not until my sister died.”
