VDM, Phyna, Dangote
Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner younger sister, Ruth Otabor has sadly passed away today at about 6:30 a.m. The heartbreaking news was confirmed in a statement released by the family through their solicitors, Eko Solicitors & Advocates, who also appealed for privacy as they grieve.
Ruth’s death comes weeks after she was critically injured in an accident involving a Dangote Group-linked truck near Auchi Polytechnic, Edo State, on August 13. The tragic incident, which occurred just days after her graduation, left her with severe injuries, including the amputation of one leg, damage to the other, and head trauma. Despite being moved to a Lagos hospital for further treatment, her condition deteriorated until her passing.
The Otabor family has described her death as a painful loss and noted that funeral arrangements will be communicated in due course. Meanwhile, fans and well-wishers have flooded social media with condolences, expressing deep sympathy for Phyna and her family as they navigate this difficult period.
