Phyna, who won the reality show in 2022, shared a heartfelt message on social media, offering both encouragement and advice to Imisi, who is facing intense family tension despite her N150 million Big Brother prize.

In a post on X, Phyna wrote, “To Imisi and to anyone going through the same fire… I’m praying for your strength. My own experience broke me, but I’m slowly rising. I’m rooting for you with everything in me. Don’t handle it like I did, build strong and focus on you, baby girl.”

The post comes amidst ongoing drama between Imisi and her mother, who recently accused her daughter of hatred and revealed the poor living conditions she currently faces, despite Imisi’s financial success from the Big Brother Naija victory.

In a public response, Imisi addressed her mother in Yoruba, stating, “This is why Aunty Debola said you should not show your face to the world. I can’t say all that now, you are in the midst of people. Just overlook everything and leave social media. Don’t worry, I will send you money to rent a new house. I am tired of all this drama. I am still recovering from the stress of Big Brother. Should I be facing another stress now? Please forgive me, I am your daughter.”

This family feud echoes a similar situation from 2023, when Phyna’s father, Felix Otabor, publicly shared his distress over his daughter’s actions following her Big Brother win. Otabor revealed in an interview that Phyna had asked him to stop working as a hearse driver and to sell his cars, promising that she would improve their family’s financial situation.

However, Otabor later struggled financially after selling the vehicles, losing both his business momentum and community standing. He also mentioned that he had not seen his daughter since her victory and felt sidelined as she enjoyed the fruits of her success.

In a series of posts shared on Instagram, Phyna claimed her sister’s death was not only tragic but also calculated and planned.


She accused Dangote Group of failing to fully cover medical and burial expenses as earlier announced publicly.


According to Phyna, the company only settled charges at Lagoon Hospital in Lagos, while the family bore the financial burden for additional expenses from Auchi to Irrua.


“The bills from Auchi down to Irrua were covered by the family; no refund has been made,” she lamented.


Phyna further alleged that on the day of Ruth’s burial, attempts to reach Dangote Group proved futile.
“Also on Sept 13th, the day of burial, Dangote groups did not pick up all calls made to them from us, as we were told the bills were not paid, but they claim it was,” she wrote.


The reality star also shared a letter drafted by Dangote Group and sent to her father, demanding him to sign an acknowledgment of receipt regarding burial expenses.


She accused the company of impersonation, arguing that the family should have been asked to provide such a letter directly.

“This letter that was sent to my dad this evening is really paining me. dangotegroup you killed my sister, did massive PR, gave the girl’s papa money for burial, then still by yourself wrote an acknowledgement letter impersonating my father and sent it to him to sign,” she wrote.


Phyna stated that the act suggested a deliberate effort to control the narrative after the burial, questioning why a company of that magnitude would resort to such actions instead of treating her family with honesty and respect.

The news was confirmed in a statement released on Phyna’s social media page. The announcement, issued by Eko Solicitors & Advocates on behalf of the Otabor family, stated that Ruth passed away on Sunday, August 31, 2025, at approximately 6:30 a.m.

“With a heavy heart, the family regrets to announce the passing on to glory of their daughter, sister, and mother,” the statement read.

The family also appealed for privacy during their time of grief, adding that funeral arrangements would be shared in due course.

Ruth Otabor, a graduate of Auchi Polytechnic, had been fighting for her life since the August 13 accident, which occurred near the polytechnic in Auchi, Edo State. The incident reportedly involved a truck associated with the Dangote Group.

Following the crash, Ruth underwent a leg amputation and was receiving treatment at the Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital.

In the weeks leading up to her death, Phyna publicly criticized the Dangote Group, accusing the company of attempting to protect those responsible and highlighting delays in medical response and support.

In response, the Dangote Group issued a statement on August 14, acknowledging the incident and expressing its willingness to cover all medical expenses and provide necessary support. Company representatives and insurance personnel were said to have visited the hospital and the scene of the accident.

The community was recently attacked by suspected herdsmen, resulting in the death of over 200 individuals.


The President made a visit to Benue and met some victims of the attack in the hospital.
However, the BBNaija star questioned the identity of the victims the President visited in the hospital. She also frowned at the red carpet laid out for the President at the hospital.


Phyna suggested that the photos of the hospital visit were photoshopped.
In a post she shared on X, Phyna, questioned the purpose of Tinubu’s visit, stating that everyone who experienced the attack was killed and burnt alive, leaving no victims in the hospital for the President to visit.


She tweeted, “There were no victims in Yelewata, they were all killed and burnt alive. Who are those in the hopital that the President went to visit standing on a red rug?”


The post has since generated mixed reactions from netizens.
Some commended Phyna for speaking out while others accused the reality star of seeking clout and not understanding the situation on the ground.
