JUST-IN: Phyna’s sister, Ruth Otabor, dies weeks after tragic accident
Ruth Otabor, sister of Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner Phyna, has died weeks after suffering a tragic accident in Edo State.
The family announced her passing on Sunday through a statement by Eko Solicitors & Advocates, confirming that Ruth died on August 31, 2025, 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.
They also appealed for privacy as they mourn. “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 been battling for her life since August 13, when she was hit by a truck reportedly linked to Dangote Group near Auchi Polytechnic, Edo State. The accident, which occurred just six days after her graduation, led to a leg amputation. Eyewitnesses said the heavy-duty vehicle crushed her leg before it was stopped by a bystander.
Her untimely death has left her family and fans in deep sorrow.
