Ruth Otabor, the sister of BBNaija Season 7 winner, Phyna, has died.
Her demise was recently confirmed via a statement issued by Eko Solicitors & Advocates on behalf of the family, and shared by Phyna on her Instagram handle.
Requesting privacy as Ruth’s family grieve, the statement confirmed that Ruth died at about 6:30 a.m. on August 31, 2025.
“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 family is presently grieving and will appreciate to be given a private moment to mourn the departed.

Ruth’s death comes just weeks after she was hit by a truck belonging to the Dangote Group near Auchi Polytechnic in Edo State.
The impact crushed her leg completely, leading to an immediate amputation to save her life and limit the damage.
The tragic accident happened just six days after Ruth graduated from Auchi Polytechnic.
