By Aishat Momoh. O.
The sister of Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Phyna, has died just weeks after surviving a tragic road accident in Edo State.
Ruth Otabor’s death was confirmed in a family statement issued on Sunday by Eko Solicitors & Advocates, which disclosed that she passed away on August 31, 2025, at about 6:30 a.m.
“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 06:30Hrs,” the statement read.
The family appealed for privacy as they mourn, noting that details of funeral arrangements will be communicated in due course.
Ruth had suffered a ghastly accident on August 13, 2025, near Auchi Polytechnic, Edo State, when a truck linked to Dangote Group crushed her leg. She underwent a leg amputation following the crash, which occurred barely six days after her graduation from the institution.
Her untimely death has thrown the Otabor family, friends, and fans of the reality TV star into deep mourning.
