The sister of Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Phyna, identified as Ruth Otabor, has died following complications from a recent accident.
Her death was confirmed in a statement issued on Sunday by Eko Solicitors & Advocates on behalf of the family, which disclosed that Ruth passed away in the early hours of 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 grieve, adding that funeral arrangements will be announced in due course.
Ruth’s death comes just weeks after she was involved in a tragic accident near Auchi Polytechnic, Edo State, on August 13, 2025. She was reportedly hit by a truck belonging to the Dangote Group, which crushed her leg, leading to an emergency amputation. The incident occurred barely six days after she graduated from Auchi Polytechnic.
Her sudden passing has thrown her family, friends, and fans of Phyna into deep mourning.
