Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, better known as Phyna, has publicly accused the Dangote Group of failing to honour its promise to sponsor her sister’s medical treatment abroad.
Phyna’s younger sister, Ruth, was involved in a tragic road accident on August 13, 2025, near Auchi Polytechnic in Edo State.
This was after being hit by a Dangote truck allegedly driven by an underage, unlicensed driver.
The accident occurred just six days after Ruth’s graduation.
It led to the amputation of her left leg, while her right leg is also at risk.
Phyna, in a series of emotional updates on Wednesday.
Also, she revealed that the situation was much worse than initially reported.
She disclosed that she had been in constant communication with Dangote officials.
Dangote officials initially agreed to sponsor Ruth’s treatment in India for advanced medical care.
However, Ruth was first transferred to Lagoon Hospital in Lagos, where the reality star was asked to submit a medical report.
Despite promptly complying, Phyna alleged that company representatives later backtracked, saying they needed to seek further medical advice before making any commitment.
She further revealed that the firm demanded another medical report from Lagoon Hospital stating that Ruth’s condition could not be managed locally.
But after providing the report, Phyna claims the Dangote official she was liaising with has ignored her messages for over 24 hours.
This however, raises doubts about the company’s sincerity.
