The family of Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Phyna, has been thrown into mourning following the death of her younger sister, Ruth Otabor.
Ruth’s passing was confirmed on Sunday, August 31, 2025, in a statement issued by Eko Solicitors & Advocates on behalf of the family and shared by Phyna on her Instagram page.
“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 also appealed for privacy as they grieve, noting that funeral arrangements will be announced in due course.
Ruth’s death comes just weeks after she was involved in a devastating accident on August 13, 2025, when she was struck by a truck belonging to the Dangote Group near Auchi Polytechnic, Edo State. The accident crushed her leg, which had to be amputated.
Tragically, the incident occurred only six days after Ruth graduated from Auchi Polytechnic.
Her untimely death has sparked an outpouring of condolences and tributes, with many sympathizing with Phyna and her family during this difficult period.
