Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Phyna, has called out the Dangote Group over what she describes as a breach of her family’s privacy following a recent accident that left her sister, Ruth Otabor, with a leg amputation.
The incident occurred on August 13, 2025, near Auchi Polytechnic, Edo State, when a Dangote truck allegedly knocked down Ruth and a commercial motorcyclist, both sustaining severe injuries. Ruth’s leg was later amputated due to the extent of the damage.
Phyna, in a series of posts on social media, accused Dangote Group staff of visiting her sister at Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital, taking photographs without the family’s consent, and posting them online.
She also questioned the company’s official statement, which referred to her sister as “Mrs. Ruth Otabor,” suggesting it could be an attempt to shape a misleading narrative.
“Who gave you permission to snap any member of my family and post it online? What disrespect. You send staff members to the hospital today and decide to turn it into content? Moving forward, there should be no cameras at any meeting or discussion about this case,” Phyna wrote.
She further criticised the company’s language in promising “appropriate compensation” and a “quick recovery,” pointing out that her sister had already lost a leg. Phyna also highlighted that the injured motorcyclist remains in critical condition.
