Phyna Cries Out After Sister Loses Her Leg in Dangote Truck Accident
Former Big Brother Naija winner and actress, Josephina Otabor, better known as Phyna, is in deep pain after her younger sister was involved in a ghastly accident with a truck linked to the Dangote Group.
The incident happened shortly after her sister, Otabor Bodon Ruth, had finished celebrating her graduation from Auchi Polytechnic. According to witnesses, a Dangote truck ran into her as she was leaving the school premises. Also, the driver allegedly tried to flee the scene but was chased down and caught by a lecturer who saw everything.
The accident left Ruth in a critical condition. Doctors were forced to amputate one of her legs to save her life, and there are growing fears that the second leg may also be lost if her health does not improve.
Phyna, devastated by the news, took to social media to call out the Dangote Group. In an emotional post, she accused the company of trying to sweep the matter under the carpet. She claimed that the police had been told to remove the license plate from the truck involved, raising fears that evidence could be tampered with.
She wrote that while her family was battling to keep Ruth alive, company officials were allegedly more concerned with covering up the situation. Additionally, she warned that neither the truck nor the driver should be released from custody, insisting that she would not allow her sister’s suffering to go unnoticed.
Her outcry has attracted attention.
Social media critic VeryDarkMan shared a video of Ruth in the hospital, urging Nigerians to stand with the family and demanding accountability from the Dangote Group. Actress Kate Henshaw also lent her voice, confirming that the truck was in police custody but noted that the removal of its plate number raised serious concerns.
Nigerian pastor and overseer of the Citadel Global Community Church, Pastor Tunde Bakare, addresses and reacts to the current happenings of the country regarding the kidnapping and the abductions.
The pastor urges the government on steps they can take to solve and help the people of the country. “The Nigerian government has a clear and urgent duty to protect these Middle Belt communities, who have carried the weight of violence for far too long.”
“Rather than play the ostrich and cover up clear terrorism as mere farmer-herder clashes, the Nigerian state has a responsibility to invade the camps of armed marauders who hide under the cloak of herdsmen of whatever ethnicity, and who invade defenceless communities and gleefully massacre unarmed men, women and children.”
US President Donald Trump criticizes the Nigeria government once again after the increase of insecurity over the past few days. The president stated that the government is failing to protect Christian communities from the attacks going on.
“Nigeria is a disgrace. The whole thing is a disgrace,” Trump said. “They’re killing people by the thousands. It’s a genocide, and I’m really angry about it. And we pay, you know, we give a lot of subsidies to Nigeria. We’re going to end up stopping.”
Former Vice President Atiku Abubakar speaks out against the rising insecurity in the country. He urged the government to take action and claimed that it is not too late to declare a state of emergency.
He reacted after another news of abduction of students was announced on the 21st of November.
“How many more lives must be shattered before decisive action is taken? It is not too late for the government to finally declare a state of emergency on insecurity and confront this menace with the urgency it deserves.”
