Nollywood actress Kate Henshaw, reality TV star Wanni, and several other celebrities have expressed their condolences to Big Brother Naija Season 7 winner, Phyna, following the death of her sister, Ruth Otabor.
Ruth passed away in the early hours of Sunday, August 31, 2025, at about 6:30 a.m., according to a statement released by Eko Solicitors & Advocates on behalf of the Otabor family.
“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 further requested privacy as they grieve the painful loss.
Ruth had suffered a tragic accident just weeks earlier. On Wednesday, August 13, 2025, she was hit by a truck linked to the Dangote Group near Auchi Polytechnic, Edo State.
Eyewitnesses said the heavy-duty truck crushed her leg before it was eventually stopped by a bystander.
In reaction to the news of her passing, Kate Henshaw wrote: “Ehhh God, May God comfort your family at this difficult time.”
Former BBNaija housemate, Wanni also expressed deep sorrow, saying: “Oh no! I’m so pained, No! No! Ruth went through too much pain, may her soul rest in peace.”
Media personality Hero Daniels added: “My sincere condolences, May God grant you and your family fortitude to bear this great loss. RIP Ruth.”
Similarly, reality TV star Daniella Peters wrote: “Kai, so sorry Phyna, My Condolences.”
Fans and well-wishers have since flooded Phyna’s social media pages with messages of support, offering prayers and comfort to the reality star and her family during this trying period.
