Ruth Otabor, Sister of Reality Star Phyna, Dies
A report by Phyna confirmed the heartbreaking news on her Instagram page on Sunday.
The family has requested privacy as they mourn their beloved sister.
The official statement reads, “We remain Solicitors to Ruth Otabor, Josephine Otabo (known as Phyna) and the Otabor Family and have their instruction to inform the public this.
“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 06:30.
“The Family is presently grieving and would appreciate being given a private moment to mourn the departed. The funeral arrangements will be communicated to the public in due course.”
It’s important to note that Phyna‘s sister Ruth was involved in a tragic accident, where she lost a leg after being struck by a Dangote truck driven by an allegedly underage and unlicensed driver.
This incident occurred on August 13, 2025, near Auchi Polytechnic in Edo State, prompting Phyna to seek justice and accountability from the Dangote Group.
The company initially pledged full support for Ruth’s treatment, including flying her abroad for further care, but Phyna claims they later went back on their promise.
