Dangote Group has confirmed that its truck knocked down Ruth Otabor, sister of Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Phyna, in an accident in Auchi, Edo State.
The company made this known in a statement on Thursday
through its X account amid outrage by the public calling for justice for Ruth.
Phyna, on Wednesday, August 13th, 2025, took to her social
media to demand justice for her sister, whose legs were amputated due to the
severity of the accident.
Other Nollywood actresses, like Kate Henshaw, and others
have joined Phyna to demand justice for her sister in the last 24 hours.
Reacting to the development, Dangote Group pledged to offer
full support, including comprehensive medical care and appropriate
compensation, in line with the company’s policy.
The firm said that its senior officials from Dangote Cement
Plc, together with the insurance team, visited the victim and her family at
Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital, Edo State.
“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
