Phyna accuses Dangote Group of breaking promise to fund sister’s treatment abroad

Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner Ijeoma Joesphina Otabor, popularly know as Phyna, has accused Dangote Group of failing to fulfill a promise to fly her sister, Ruth, abroad for medical treatment.

DAILY POST reports that Ruth, Phyna’s younger sister, was involved in a tragic accident on August 13, 2025, near Auchi Polytechnic in Edo State, where she was hit by a Dangote truck allegedly driven by an underage, unlicensed driver.

The accident occurred six days after Ruth’s graduation, resulting in the amputation of her left leg, with her right leg also at risk.

In a series of emotional updates on Wednesday, Phyna explained that after finally visiting her sister in person, she realized Ruth’s situation was far worse than she had initially shared with the public.

She confirmed that she has been in ongoing talks with representatives of the Dangote Group.

According to her, the company agreed to her initial request for Ruth to be flown to India for advanced medical care.
