- Ruth Otabor, sister of BBNaija winner Phyna, passed away on August 31, 2025.

Funeral arrangements for Ruth Otabor, the younger sister of BBNaija winner Phyna, have surfaced online.
Ruth tragically died on August 31, 2025, following complications from an accident involving a Dangote truck near Auchi Polytechnic in Edo State on August 13, just six days after completing her studies at the institution. The crash left her with a severe injury that led to the amputation of her left leg.
A circulating video has confirmed that her burial will take place on September 13, 2025.
In response to the growing concerns about road mishaps, Dangote Group, in partnership with the Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC), has launched a safety training initiative for its truck drivers. The program emphasizes caution, proper road conduct, and preventive measures. This comes shortly after a devastating crash in Enugu State, where multiple cement trucks were involved in a collision that claimed ten lives, including members of one family.
As Phyna grieves her sister’s untimely passing, messages of sympathy continue to pour in from fans and fellow Big Brother Naija stars.
Before Ruth’s death, Phyna had publicly pressured Dangote Group to take responsibility for the accident and the challenges her sister faced afterward.
Meanwhile, an audio recording allegedly released by the president of Auchi Polytechnic’s Student Union Government has stirred controversy. The recording accuses Phyna of neglecting Ruth during her struggles, suggesting that the reality star prioritized her career while her sister, a mother of two and class representative, endured hardship on her own. However, these allegations have not been independently verified.
