The sister of Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Phyna, Ruth Otabor, has passed away.
Her death was confirmed on Sunday in a statement issued by Eko Solicitors & Advocates, which revealed that Ruth died in the early hours of the day.
“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 grieving family also appealed for privacy as they mourn their loss.
“The family is presently grieving and will appreciate to be given a private moment to mourn the departed. The funeral arrangement will be communicated to the public in due course,” the statement added.
Ruth’s passing comes just weeks after she was involved in a tragic accident. On Wednesday, August 13, 2025, she was hit by a truck linked to the Dangote Group near Auchi Polytechnic, Edo State. Eyewitnesses reported that the heavy-duty truck crushed her leg before it was eventually halted by a bystander.
Following the incident, Ruth underwent a leg amputation. Sadly, she passed away only six days after graduating from Auchi Polytechnic, leaving her family, loved ones, and fans in deep sorrow.
