Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Phyna, has raised alarm over what she described as the Dangote Group’s failure to keep its promise to send her younger sister, Ruth, abroad for urgent medical treatment.
Phyna made the accusation on Wednesday while giving fresh updates on the health condition of her sister. She explained that her sister’s situation has become very critical and needs urgent attention.
It would be recalled that Ruth was involved in a serious accident on August 13, 2025, close to Auchi Polytechnic in Edo State. She was hit by a Dangote truck, which eyewitnesses alleged was being driven by an underage and unlicensed driver.
The crash happened only six days after Ruth’s graduation. The accident left her with severe injuries, leading to the amputation of her left leg. Doctors also warned that her right leg may be at risk if she does not get proper treatment on time.
Phyna disclosed that after the accident, she entered into discussions with officials of the Dangote Group. According to her, the company initially agreed that Ruth should be flown to India for advanced medical care.
She explained that before the trip abroad could happen, Ruth was first transferred to Lagoon Hospital in Lagos. At that point, she was asked to provide a full medical report about her sister’s condition.
Phyna said she submitted the medical report immediately, but after doing so, officials of the Dangote Group changed their position. They informed her that they would first seek additional medical advice before taking any step on flying Ruth out.
The reality TV star added that later, the company requested another report from Lagoon Hospital to prove that Ruth’s case could not be handled locally.
Phyna stated that she has since provided the documents but has not received any clear response. According to her, the Dangote official who had been communicating with her has now ignored her messages for more than 24 hours.
In her words: “Dangote is gambling with my sister’s life. Her lungs, bladder and reproductive organs are gone. Our agreement was that my sister should be taken to Lagoon Hospital in Lagos so they could stabilize her before she is flown out for medical treatment. Now that she is at Lagoon, Dangote Group said they needed a statement from Lagoon that will show that they can’t handle her at their hospital and if she is fit to travel out. If it was Dangote’s child that was in Ruth’s condition will he not fly her out?
I already sent them the scanned medical report from Lagoon and the doctor said she will be hospitalized for a very long time because she was badly crushed. She has not even woken up for days. The doctor also said that even though it’s risky she is fit to travel out. Right now, Dangote group is not replying my chats again. You might be mighty but it is only one small thing that will bring you down.”
