Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Josephina Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has strongly criticised the Dangote Group over its handling of the recent accident involving her sister, Ruth Otabor.
Ruth sustained severe injuries in a truck accident near Auchi Polytechnic, Edo State, on August 13, 2025, which led to the amputation of her leg.
In a social media post, Phyna accused Dangote Group staff of visiting her sister at Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital without seeking family consent to take photographs, alleging that the images were later shared publicly.
“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? I just pray this kind of picture didn’t happen with my sister,” she wrote.

The reality TV star also questioned the company’s choice of words in its official statement, particularly referring to her sister as “Mrs. Ruth Otabor,” asking what “narrative” they intended to create.
Phyna further demanded that cameras be prohibited in any future meetings or discussions related to the matter, stressing the need for privacy and respect. She also criticised the company’s promise of “appropriate compensation” and a “quick recovery,” pointing out that her sister had already lost a leg and that the bike rider involved in the accident was also in critical condition.
The Dangote Group had earlier confirmed its involvement in the accident, pledging comprehensive medical care and compensation for Ruth, in line with its welfare policy.
The incident has continued to spark public outrage, with celebrities and fans joining Phyna in demanding justice and accountability.
