Reactions as the sister of Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Phyna, Ruth Otabor is dead

The family announced her death on Sunday through a statement by Eko Solicitors & Advocates, saying Ruth passed on to glory on Sunday, at about 6:30 a.m.

“With a heavy heart, the family regrets to announce the passing on to glory of their daughter, sister, and mother on this 31st Day of August, 2025 at about 06:30Hrs,” the statement read.

The family added that they are grieving and requested privacy to mourn Ruth.

“The family is presently grieving and will appreciate to be given a private moment to mourn the departed.

“The funeral arrangement will be communicated to the public in due course,” the statement added.

Ruth had suffered a tragic accident just weeks earlier.

She underwent a leg amputation after being hit by a truck linked to Dangote Group near Auchi Polytechnic, Edo State, on Wednesday, August 13, 2025. Eyewitnesses said the heavy-duty truck crushed her leg before it was eventually stopped by a bystander.

The accident occurred only six days after Ruth graduated from Auchi Polytechnic. Her sudden death has left the family and fans in mourning.

A sad moment has struck. The cutthroat and irresponsible corporate conduct of @DangoteGroup truck drivers has cut a beautiful life short.

I was going to make a tweet earlier about how this lady, Phyna has been fighting for her sister’s rights everywhere despite her being a top voice.

This is a video of Dangote’s truck claiming 3 lives in the same month it claimed Phyna’s sister.

How many hashtags do we want to trend? How many callouts do we want to make?
