BBNaija Season 7 winner, Josephina “Phyna” Otabor, has reacted to Dangote Group’s official statement on the recent road accident involving her sister, Ruth Otabor, in Auchi, Edo State.

The incident, which occurred on August 13, 2025, involved one of Dangote Cement Plc’s trucks and left Ruth Otabor critically injured. Reports indicate that she has undergone a leg amputation and remains in serious condition at Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital, Edo State.

The statement from Dangote Groups read, “Following the recent road accident in Auchi, Edo State, involving one of our trucks, which sadly resulted in injury to Mrs. Ruth Otabor, senior officials from Dangote Cement Plc, together with our Insurance team, promptly visited the scene, engaged with law enforcement authorities, and visited the victim and her family at Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital, Edo State.

“This action reflects our unwavering commitment to the well-being of those affected. We are ensuring full support for Mrs. Otabor, including comprehensive medical care and appropriate compensation, in line with Dangote Group’s welfare policy.

“Our thoughts remain with Mrs. Ruth Otabor and her loved ones, and we wish her a full and speedy recovery,”the statement added.

Shortly after the statement was made public, Phyna took to social media to correct a detail she described as inaccurate.

In her words,“For the records, my sister is not married.”

The reality TV star’s clarification has drawn attention online, with fans and commentators questioning why the company referred to her sister as “Mrs.” in an official release.
